It's probably just me but I find Rove metaphorically speaking about the fall of his party as being a “building” with the walls blown out quite interesting considering 9/11. What a choice of words.

The Architect, as President Bush once called him, has a theory for why the building fell down.

The theory is this: The building's infrastructure is actually quite sound. It was bad luck and seasonal shifts in the winds -- complacent candidates combined with an ill-timed Mark Foley page scandal -- that blew out the walls. But the foundation is fine.


It sounds almost subliminal.......

I don't read much more into that than the standard in-denial politico speak.
It's another variation of 'the policies are fine, it was the presentation that let us down'.
