Fact: KARL ROVE reacted like a mouse in a room full of cats. He knows he is hated. He knows why he is hated. He has no idea who his friends may be. He is not stupid, he is EVIL.
He made his own hell, and he has to take the consequence of being afraid, terrorized, all the time. I would not trade places with him for any of the "rewards" he has garnered.
