The Guardian posted today the following intriguing item from the AP -- which in the last few minutes has been yanked.

Rove's long history with the Bush family

Associated Press

Political adviser Karl Rove's history with the Bush family:

1973 - Rove became chairman of the College Republicans. During his time in Washington, D.C., he became a special assistant to Republican National Committee Chairman George H.W. Bush and met George W. Bush.

1977 - Worked for a political action committee dedicated to making the elder Bush president in 1980.

1978 - Advised younger Bush during his unsuccessful Texas congressional campaign.

1980 - Assisted George H.W. Bush's unsuccessful presidential campaign.

1994 - Adviser for George W. Bush's successful Texas gubernatorial campaign.

1998 - Adviser for Gov. Bush's successful re-election campaign.

2000 - Chief strategist for Bush's presidential campaign.

2004 - Chief strategist for re-election campaign.

2005 - Currently assistant to the President, Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Adviser to President George W. Bush.

Any thoughts on its significance ? And the fact that it was yanked ? (I got it back by googling Rove, and wound up copying this from the mercurynews.com site).
