The Diabolical Swedes? Is Karl Rove, when not living in Barad-Dur, bogarting stuff from Rush? I haven't read Plan of Attack yet, but here is a bizarre quote from Woodward's book according to Slate. Page 250: Karl Rove, a Norwegian-American, is obsessed with the "historical duplicity" of the Swedes, who seized Norway back in 1814. This nationalism manifests itself as hatred for Swedish weapons inspector Hans Blix. Huh? I guess we won't be seeing Annika Sorenstam in Karl's foresome anytime soon. I would also note that the murder of Olaf Palme remains unsolved, but I now have a new suspect.
