Rove, Bush's Brain,The Architect

recommended reading:
In The Architect, James Moore and Wayne Slater, the bestselling authors of Bush’s Brain, return to document how Karl Rove:
• Used lobbyist Jack Abramoff as a cat’s-paw to manage unruly legislators.
• Energetically led the antigay marriage movement while protecting a family secret that made his stance bizarrely cynical.
• Turned Christian churches into a gigantic vote delivery system, despite privately admitting to being a nonbeliever.
• Repeatedly leaked information to harm political opponents, making him the man investigators most wanted to talk to when they began probing the Plame affair.
• Was intimately involved in an international disinformation scheme to lead America to war.
The Architect is an eye-opening and frequently shocking report on the maneuverings of a brilliant but morally ambiguous political strategist, and the first-ever in-depth look at a political operative striving to absolutely control the future.
