Mr Rove has a great piece in the WSJ about John Boehner.
This is what I love about Boehner:
Mr. Boehner may not be an inspiring orator, but he has moved the country and Congress in his direction. He has succeeded in large part because he had a more modest view of the post than his recent predecessors. In a private dinner last year in Texas, I was struck by his complaint that only a handful of people mattered in the Democrat-run House—namely, the Speaker and four or five other members. This wasn’t the way the Founders intended the House to operate, Mr. Boehner said, with more than a little passion in his voice.
He is no Nancy Pelosi.
And with Barry Jackson as his “Karl Rove” and the tea party helping to keep the conversation on track and Mr. Boehner actually listening to these people that others call crazy I think he’s going down as a great Speaker.
I’m calling this spin because this is a piece on Mr. Boehner, for Mr. Boehner, talking about Mr. Boehner’s wins and power. By redirecting what others would think of as weakness, Karl Rove does it again!
