I was amused to read that, in the wake of last week’s Republican debacle, Karl Rove remains “steadfast,” and that he believes the loss was largely Foley’s fault. Moreover, Mary Matalin still views Rove as “the Zen master of movement politics.”
I think it’s time for a new haiku:

Permanent Majority,

Thanks for posting your Karl Rove haikus. I enjoyed them. Anyone else care to join in? Karl’s such an inspiration.

VJB, while I can’t agree that haiku’s easy, I must admit that sonnet’s scare me. Thanks for your verse!
