Bush calls him turd blossom, for gods sake!

His evil reputation is known on both sides of the aisle. There is no doubt that he is guilty. The question is, will he go down for this?

2. According to Helen Thomas - it's all about Bush's ego

Helen Thomas wrote the following:

"Several years ago when (Rove) started getting accolades from political writers as the mastermind behind Bush, the president is known to have bristled.

"He once told a journalist that he did not like his aides getting 'star treatment.' So he started calling Rove 'Turd Blossom,' which refers to the so-called cowpie splat made by bovine waste when it hits the ground."

This is all about Shrub putting Rove in his place. Even though Rove is an evil political genius to whom Bush owes his career, Bush still considers him to be a commoner, a "turd". Bush however is an aristocrat, to the manor born (at least in his own mind) whether or not he has ever achieved anything on his own.
