I GUESS McCARTHYISM AND UNMITIGATED GALL WAS DEEMED INSUFFICIENTLY CATCHY

Well, now we know the title of Karl Rove's forthcoming memoir, due in stores March 9:

Courage and Consequence

I don't know if the "courage" part is intended as a reference to his White House superiors or himself, but if it's the latter, I'd say this is the most egomaniacal book title since A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, and that was meant to be ironic.

I'll give him the "consequence" part, in the sense that the meeting of that iceberg and the Titanic was "consequential."
