Karl Rove Resigning

To quote the This is Huge moniker of days gone by from Nashville is Talking….

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Karl Rove, President Bush’s senior political adviser, will voluntarily step down from his White House post at the end of the month, senior administration officials said Monday.

Rove is leaving! Voluntarily?  So many questions are spinning through my head.

The Washington Post is reporting that he’s leaving politics.

Bush plans to make a statement with Rove on the South Lawn this morning before the president departs for his ranch near Crawford, Tex. Rove, who holds the titles of deputy chief of staff and senior adviser, has been talking about finding the right time to depart for a year, colleagues said, and decided he had to either leave now or remain through the end of the presidency.

Yeah, this is big. In some ways, I’m not surprised, but then again, I not.

    Bush’s brain throws in the towel! I have questions too. Why now at the bottom of the ninth?

    He had done about all he could do in the WH. Now he’s out and about in the real world again where he might cause more havoc.

    Maybe he has an undisclosed secret location (see—> under a rock).

    Question: Now that Bush’s brain is leaving, are things going to get better or worse? Also, is there anyone qualified (and I use the term loosely here, all things considered) to execute an effective “transplant”? Comments please!!!

  6. newscoma says:

    I’m going for worse, actually. It’s like The Editor said, we knew Rove’s operation to a degree.
    As for brain transplant, well, he’ll need something up there.
