Edward W. Gillespie, counselor to President Bush, is no stranger to controversy. ....

At the time of Rove’s departure in August, The Washington Post speculated that Gillespie would be asked to “handle political strategy and message management for the president.”

.... He was a top aide to former Rep. Dick Armey, and he helped draft the 1994 Republican “Contract with America.” ... also served as chairman of the Republican National Committee.

In 2000, Gillespie joined with Jack Quinn, former chief of staff to Vice President Al Gore, to form the public relations and lobbying firm of Quinn Gillespie & Associates LLC.
