Karl Rove: Nicknames

Karl Rove (whom The Economist once dubbed "de facto head of the Republican National Committee, vetter-in-chief of Republican candidates, linkman between the White House and the conservative movement, and a one-man ideas factory") became close to the Bushes in the mid-1970s, when he moved to Texas to advise George Bush Sr. on strategic initiatives.

Having revitalized the Texan Republicans, Rove then ran George W. Bush's successful campaigns for the governorship and masterminded his 2000 presidential election campaign. Indeed, Bush Jr. thought so highly of the wily schemer that he bestowed upon him several nicknames. Chief among them? "Boy Genius" and... "Turdblossom".

[Rove was later embarrassed when a computer disc containing his masterplan for the 2002 mid-term elections (including an embarrassing observation that the president's brother, Jeb Bush, was vulnerable in Florida) was dropped in the street by a hapless White House intern.]
