Praise for Bush's Brain "Love him or hate him, Karl Rove is one of the most brilliant and successful political consultants of all time. In this riveting account, Wayne Slater and Jim Moore tell how he got there." -Paul Begala, CNN's Crossfire "Bush's Brain isn't a hatchet job on George W. Bush. In fact, the two authors largely dispel the myth of Bush's supposedly deficient IQ. But, more importantly, they lay bare the story of how Karl Rove may be the most powerful man in America. It's a compelling story told by two veteran Texas journalists who don't need a briefing packet to understand the men they're writing about." -Philip Bruce, KCET/PBS Television, Los Angeles The most powerful individual in the United States may not be George W. Bush. It is probably Karl Rove, the President's brilliant advisor. Who is this man and how did he acquire so much power? Having watched in awe for over fifteen years as they reported on the rise of Karl Rove, Moore and Slater expose the brutal and sometimes morally questionable, but invariably effective ways in which Karl Rove'and America's political system-actually operate.

I have never been A Rove Fan. I can clearly remember the Bush years and somehow whenever I saw Rove on the talk show circuit, I would think "sleezy". He made no secret that he'd do literally anything to get Bush into the White House and this book confirms it.
Still it is tough to read about someone you dislike so much. What really astounded me was the scorn he seemed to feel, not just for Democrats, but for some of the very people whose votes he needed t o secure. I did take to skimming after awhile because the whole book, well written as it was, was leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Kind of felt like I wanted to shower after reading this.
There are times I question why I read this stuff and why I'm a political junkie in the first place but if you are, you are. It's in you, in your blood. I have always held a rather obsessive interest in politics, more then the average person at any rate. This book shows the sleaze factor very well. I would recommend it to fellow Political junkies. (
