Rove hires new deputy.
Karl Rove has hired a deputy, the new White House political director Jonathan Felts, to replace Sara Taylor.
“He’s one of the political geniuses of our time,” Felts said of Rove. “It’s neat to see how his mind works.” [...]
Felts didn’t have to move far in his new job: down a floor and across the hall to an office in the Executive Office Building, which is across the street from the White House. Before this appointment, he was Vice President Dick Cheney’s assistant for political affairs. He previously was associate director of the White House Office of Political Affairs.
He also has worked for several other GOP politicians, including former Sen. Lauch Faircloth of North Carolina and former Vice President Dan Quayle.

June 4th, 2007 at 12:24 pmI dont see how smear campaigns and dirty tricks are genius. Politics today resemble the Jerry Springer show.

June 4th, 2007 at 12:30 pmI guess things have a way of staying "all in the family,' so to speak, with this administration.
June 4th, 2007 at 12:37 pmBadmoodman > Felts will do anything for Rove, so I feel sorry for the guy when Rove drops his pants and expects a favor.
June 4th, 2007 at 12:38 pmWhy on earth does the veep need an assistant for political affairs and who the hell is paying their salary?
June 4th, 2007 at 12:42 pmHe is 34 and uses the word "neat" ?
June 4th, 2007 at 12:59 pm.
if only the left had anybody that could match up with Rove -
they wouldn't have to spend so much of their not so plentiful stash of cash to try and stop him. libs cannot do it with ideas.
in the end Rove will eat em alive - again.

Genius? I always thought Karl was kind of a one-trick pony.
