Interesting article by Matt Towry about Karl Rove. Apparently, there has been some criticism of President Bush's policy of keeping his closest political advisor in the white House. Matt Towry disputes such thinking, and speculates that the forthcoming election may require Rove's assistance.
He then concludes with this sentence, "Like him or not, Karl Rove -- in the storied tradition of Bobby Kennedy and Hamilton Jordan -- is good not only for the president he serves, but for the policies being put forth for consumption by the body politic."
You may not remember Hamilton Jordan--but he was an advisor to President Jimmy Carter, who in recent months has become the Rights favorite whipping boy. It's unusual that Rove would be compared to Jordan in a conservative article. Jordan's magic didn't ensure a second term for Carter, as I recall, nor were the policies he and President Carter the sorts of things that Conservatives find praiseworthy.
