It looks obvious

Like many people I was reading today with great interest about Karl Rove’s resignation. It was even more interesting after reading the excellent article in the Atlantic about Karl Rove failed legacy. Something, insignificant, caught  my attention while I was reading:

It is his long and personal relationship with Mr. Bush that has made Mr. Rove arguably the most influential White House aide of modern times. The president calls him to chat about politics on Sunday mornings, and they have a contest to see who can read the most books. (Mr. Rove is winning.)

I don’t know, but the fact that Karl Rove reads more books than President Bush isn’t the most shocking news - and this is one of the saddest things about this administration.
