karl rove had no voice in the writing of the bush tax cuts into law. that was done by the bush team at the treasury and republicans in the house and the senate. karl rove's job was to spin the fantasy that the bush tax cuts would not plunge the united states deeper and deeper into debt, which of course they did. vice president dick cheney was commonly thought to control president bush's thinking on war policy, but no one ever argued that dick cheney had anything important to say about domestic policy. no one cared what dick cheney was thinking about tax cuts or the medicare prescription drug plan or any other domestic policy. and we now know that there were some significant disagreements between president bush and dick cheney in which the vice president was on the losing end of the argument. so, no, there has never ever been anyone like steve bannon in the white house and he proved that today at his public appearance at cpac, sitting beside the white house chief of staff, reince priebus, and he proved it without saying a word. steve bannon spoke, but t
