About

This is an anonymous source, referenced only as a "senior White House aide". It has been asserted that it is probably Karl Rove, but that may only be speculation. There are reports that Rove denied saying this, but those reports are not as well-referenced as they could be and so some doubt remains, according to the Wikipedia page on the topic.

Pro	10/17/04	The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.	en.wikipedia.org	A senior White House aide	The George W Bush administration	Ron Suskind	[none]	[link]
