Former Bush administration political advisor Karl Rove has signed on as a columnist for Newsweek magazine, with his first column titled "How to Beat Hillary (Next) November." Charles Kaiser notes the irony in Rove's decision to join the mainstream media: "In public, Rove is one of dozens of conservatives who assiduously bash the press. Last summer, channeling Agnew, Rove told Rush Limbaugh that 'the people I see criticizing [Bush] are sort of elite effete snobs.' But at the same time, Rove was constantly massaging big-time Washington journalists over long lunches at the Hay Adams Hotel."

I'd have written it for half of whatever they paid Rove.

Hmmm.

Time thought this wouldn't be like hiring George Stephanopoulos," my source explained. "They think Karl is essentially like an unindicted coconspirator in a whole string of felonies."
