Now I see him as an opportunist.

I've come to see Rove as a "moderate opportunist", myself.

Without any ideology or core principles, he's clearly a moderate -- not a liberal. And, like any opportunist, he is in favor of whatever can improve his station -- financially or status-wise.

A disgusting little man...
