There is another...

This is what I've been saying for a while now - and as much as I like seeing Giuliani twist in the wind, the thought that it's a Rove plot really lessens my enjoyment.

The plot against Rudy
Conservatives continue to feast on Rudy Giuliani's misery.
As Rudy begins to distance himself from the ethically challenged, briefly nominated Homeland Security chief wanna-be Bernard Kerik, some right-wing hardliners claim White House strategist Karl Rove devised the Kerik debacle to hurt Giuliani's presidential chances in '08.
'Rove used Rudy and Kerik to tout Bush as the anti-terrorism candidate,' says one Republican party player. 'But Rudy is too socially liberal for the true-believers. So they let him shoot himself in the foot. Rove knew about Kerik's baggage - and that he could never be confirmed. But he went along with the nomination, betting that the heat would come down on Rudy, which it has.'
A White House spokesman didn't return a call for comment on the conspiracy theory. But other party observers disagree that Bush wasn't damaged by Kerik.
'It may even have hurt the appointment of Alberto Gonzales [for attorney general], as Democratic senators are going to question his vetting process, too,' says a source.
While some think Giuliani could still be a contender in four years, others believe Rove and Bush have one man in mind for the Oval Office: brother Jeb Bush.
'They're saying, 'We own the party now,'' says one source, 'and we're not going to give it away.

You forgot about Jeb, didn't you!
