I'm six chapters into Bush's Brain
I knew Rove was evil, I just had no idea how far back it went. I was a kid in the 80s when the scandals were going on in Texas politics, and I remember hearing about them. Reading this book turns my stomach. So many people know that he does what he does, but yet, he continues to get away with it.

1. Have you seen the documentary based on the book?
It's interesting seeing it after reading since they interview people in the book. Amazing how deep the feelings go towards Rove so many years later.

2. I've caught bits and pieces of it
on FSTV, but I've never seen the whole thing. I find that I can only read the book for a short time, then I have to put it down and take a break. As a Native Texan, I had no idea what he was doing back then, and now that I know, I am livid.

7. I couldn't put it down
I'm a slow reader but read it in two sittings. Since the writers are journalists, I think they captured my attention. And yes, Rove is pretty disgusting.

Here's a collage I cobbled together about him. Maybe it'll take the edge off for you.

8. It's not that I don't want to read it...
I just experience extreme nausea if I read it for too long. The very thought that people knew he was behind these things, but nothing was ever done about it...

3. Wait until you read the ending
and then you'll get a further glimpse into that bastard's unending vendettas.

4. I'm sure it only gets worse and worse
Like I said, I knew he was evil, just had no idea how far back it went.

9. If they're conjoined twins, he got all of the brains and * got none.
That's why * will die if Rove is separated from him.

10. I think you'd have to say that * got some of the gray matter
He can walk and talk (sort of). Politically, he die if he and Rove are separated, but he'll keep breathing.

They could have called it "Rove 101"
