Now, that Karl Rove has been cleared, I have to remind you of the scientific experiment I conducted way back in July proving that he would, in fact, be exonerated. I drew two rectangles on a paper towel. In one I wrote, "Rove smelling like a rose," which meant the summer game of political gotcha would just go away. In the other I wrote, "Bush caves," which meant Rove would be thrown to the wolves and administration critics would score a big victory. Then I stood over the paper towel with a handful of my official World Poker Tour poker chips and let them drop. Let the chips fall where they may.
I'm so pleased with the way that worked out, I think I might make other predictions the same way. "Members of Congress recommit to fiscal discipline" vs. "Earmarks grow again" might be a good one.
