Rich Republican Elites Turning Against El Presidente

The Prince of Darkness, a.k.a. Bob Novak, reports in his column today about an off-the-record gathering of rich Republican donors in Aspen where the Bush-bashing rivaled that of a meeting of Democratic precinct chairs. He ends that column with the observation that Karl Rove arrived late, that the direct attacks on Bush policies immediately died down, and that Rove may have left the gathering with a very misleading notion of his boss's support among Republican elites.
