I'd far prefer Karl Rove as cable's designated "Republican strategist" than the nameless, faceless, completely unknown types who occupy that space now. At least with Rove, we know who he is and, in a broad-brush way, where he stands. Plus, the more time he has to spend in greenrooms and driving to-and-from broadcast stations, the less time he has to spend in his volcanic lair building his deception ray and plotting earth's total ruin. Distracting him with flattering anchors and cable shout shows is probably a public good.
