Not just a reward

Gun strategist and spinner, Karl Rove, subject of a doco titled, “Bush’s Brain”, has scored a neat little job;

Rove, who was Bush's top political strategist during his 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns, will become a deputy White House chief of staff.
In that role, he will be in charge of coordinating policy between the White House Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, National Security Council and Homeland Security Council.

Now, why do you think a man of Rove’s skills (he sold the idea of Bush being a bold leader and a compassionate conservative) would be given a role involving the NSC and Homeland Security? Surely not to serve a political agenda.
