It's worse than we thought

Washington Post story on Karl Rove's promotion to Deputy White House Chief of Staff: [WH officials] said the new role was a smart fit for Rove, whom they called better versed on policy than the public understands. "I don't think people realize how much of a wonk Karl is," said Michael J. Gerson, a senior Bush adviser. "He's more up on more issues than anyone at the White House."

This might just be the best example of how the theory of comparative advantage can't always be right.
