Goodbye, Karl Rove

Karl Rove is to quit at the end of August.

According to Turd Blossom, he was not "forced to quit," he simply is resigning to be closer to his family. No, I'm sorry, he's resigning to write a tell-all book about how his scare tactics and immoral counsel screwed the country ten times over. Or, wait, he just wants to "teach politics at the university level." That's going to be an interesting class. The prerequisites would probably be Losing Your Soul I and II.

Goodbye, Karl. Maybe now the Senate can get you to show up, but I doubt it. I don't think your influence on the White House will disappear, anyway. Bush will run out the clock on your playbook because it's all they know how to do.
