George W. Bush couldn't have become President without the genius of Karl Rove, the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain and the man who has become known as "Bush's Brain".
There would be no War with Iraq without Karl Rove --- because he sold us images of "mushroom clouds over America", "weapons of mass destruction" and the critical importance of a "War President".
There would be no Patriot Act without Karl Rove because he convinced America that dissent was the same as disloyalty. He persuaded America that to speak out and question your country meant that you weren't a patriot, that you didn't love your country.
Karl Rove was the dark Da Vinci of American politics. He was a master at creating the wedge issue: whether it be gay marriage or national security or patriotism. If he could convince you that the other side was "un-American, he could always come out on top. Karl Rove was a virtuoso when it came to dividing America to elect his candidate.
From his masterful political skills to the secret machinations he carefully orchestrated, Karl Rove has been a new calibration in the idea of a "political advisor". BUSH'S BRAIN makes an explosive case that Karl Rove was one of the most powerful non-elected official in American history and the first "co-president" of the United States.
He looks like Heinrich Himmler a little
