It was reported in yesterday's "Washington Post" that former George W. Bush aide Karl Rove, aka Bush's Brain, told the 43rd president not to tap Dick Cheney as vice president.
The revealation comes from former "GQ" journalist Robert Draper who has just penned "The Presidency of George W. Bush." Since Draper knew W from his days as Texas governor, he was able to gain access that the media shy prez has denied virtually everyone else except Fox News.
According to the article in "The Post," Rove told Bush that naming Cheney as veep would be a mistake:
"Selecting daddy's top foreign-policy guru ran counter to message," the passage from the book reads. "It was worse than a safe pick-it was needy."
Though I am not a fan of Rove, who according to Christopher Hitchens is shockingly an agnostic, I do not wish that Bush II listened to him on this piece of good advice.

Apparently, there are increasingly a growing number of conservatives who are also at odds with Team Bush....if anyone has some good links from folks of that ilk, they can email me at turkam@yahoo.com
