Fox News Channel commentator Karl Rove settled down this afternoon for a Washington Post online Q&A, despite, as he announced up front, "three hours of sleep after last night's excitement."

One of the questions asked during the Q&A was from "Dallas" and pertained to Rove's role with the campaign of Sen. John McCain. "Why does Fox network fail to mention your relationship as an adviser to the McCain campaign?" the questioner asks.

Rove's answer: "I'm not certain that I qualify as an adviser to McCain. I have friends at the campaign who occasionally ask me for reactions, and the Fox network is well aware of that, and similar contacts by some of their Democratic analysts."

The same questioner observantly picked up something else from last night's coverage; when asked why he wasn't wearing his wedding ring last night, Rove said, "When I left my house I accidentally left my ring in the shower."
