Via the Washington Post this piece of good news for those worried that the Bush White House would become even more cravenly political

[Karl] Rove [. . .] will become a deputy White House chief of staff in charge of coordinating policy between the White House Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, National Security Council and Homeland Security Council.

Rove will continue to oversee White House strategy to advance Bush's agenda and will 'make sure we have an open and fair process for the development of policy and to make sure the policy is complementary and consistent with the various councils,' White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

How McClellan can utter such statements with a straight face is beyond me.
