Rove's True Regret: It's a Rap

Karl Rove, the outgoing White House deputy chief of staff and President Bush's closest adviser, has had his ups and downs over the years. The "ups" would perhaps be the passage of the Medicare drug-benefit expansion, tax-cut legislation and No Child Left Behind, and of course a couple of stunning presidential runs.
The somewhat less rewarding moments might have been talking to Robert Novak and Matt Cooper about Valerie Plame, the failed Social Security initiative, the '06 elections, the flameout on immigration reform, maybe that Iraq adventure.

Asked by our colleague, Peter Baker, if there is one, just one, thing he really, really regrets, Rove said: "I regret accepting that invitation from CNN and going to that stupid dinner and getting turned into MC Rove."

Really? Worse than Iraq? Surely that "Rappin' Rove" routine at the White House Radio and Television Correspondents' Dinner in March wasn't that bad.

Well, he's got a point.
