Brainsnap Leaks Karl Rove Memo

White House insiders have given Brainsnap an exclusive insight into the contents of Karl Rove's personal journal. We at Brainsnap feel it is our duty to share highlights of this journal with the general public.

"...the President, on my urging, has told our pals at Fox News today that we can't be beaten militarily - provided we don't lose our nerve. And the President is right. Who needs money anyway? Does money power ships, aircraft carriers, tanks? Does money put armor in a Humvee? This administration stands for values and nerve, not money. It distresses me to hear all this talk about money...

I was thinking about this war thing on the back nine the other day in South Carolina and it really all comes down to sheer nerve, and lots of it. The White House, for instance, has lots and lots of nerve. True, skeptics claim that the White House used to have lots of money, but what is money anyway? Are we certain that most people really need it?

The President rightly understands that the only people who could possibly have much use for money would be rich people. I, and by 'I' I mean 'he', feel that money is wasted on the poor. Being rich is a skill - it requires a boring sequence of special schools, tutors, servants, golf lessons and a discreet army of lawyers who can get you out of scrapes - money is a burden that could turn any man to coke, alcoholism or weird religions, for Christ-sakes.
