"It was a dirty job, but Rove liked to do it."
When I read news (oh boy) I flatly didn’t believe it. “Karl Rove, President Bush's close friend and chief political strategist, announced Monday he will leave the White House at the end of August. On board with Bush since the beginning of his political career in Texas, Rove was nicknamed "the architect" and "boy genius" by the president for designing the strategy that twice won him the White House. Critics call Rove "Bush's brain." Yeah right, that sonofabitch, known to his boss as Turd Blossom, is about as likely to ride quietly off into the sunset as Sauron would be to trade the Dark Tower for a Florida timeshare. So what’s the deal here? Is he bailing ahead of subpoenas and even indictments? R. J. Eskow in HuffPo today seemed to be of that opinion…
“Rove is facing a Congressional subpoena. And let's not forget his role in the Libby scandal. In what was probably a public threat/negotiating ploy, Libby's lawyers threatened to submit evidence that Scooter's actions were part of a broader criminal plot to protect Rove. It apparently worked, since they suddenly reversed themselves and offered only a token defense. Then, in what was an extraordinary exception even for cases of Presidential pardons, Scooter never served even a single day in jail. Funny, that. So Rove is either leaving now because a) he wants to write that book, b) he wants to spend more time with his family, c) he thinks this will lower the pressure to have him testify before Congress, d) somebody said "we'll fix it with Scooter but when the heat dies down you have to leave town," e) all of the above, or f) there's something else going on we may never know.”
But then again I wonder. I could easily see him trolling the slime trails of the Republican primaries whoring out as a kingmaker-for-hire figuring which wannabe might have a prayer in this shambles of America that Rove helped create. This evil motherfucker is about the most wholly amoral political manipulator since Joseph Goebbels. This is the bastard who ran the Bush 2004 election on insinuation and homophobia, and I’m telling you, citizens, we do not, for a moment, want to turn our collective back on this very dangerous, slithering scumsucker.
The secret word is Wormtongue
(But check this video clip Noudela just sent in which Rove jokes about being president.)

Maybe Rove is jumping ship to play kingmaker for another amoral pol who wants power so bad he will do anything to get it. Some of Rove's top people are already working for Guliani. Mu guess is Rove is going to run Guliani's campaign on the QT through his people will laying low to avoid Congress. And Libby wasn't pardoned (which would allow him to spill the beans without fear of punishment) his sentence was commuted (meaning if he talks he will be nailed to the wall). Libby takes fall and keeps quite while Rove slides off to his slime hole.
Rove has a son?! Some woman actaully had sex with that man of her own free will and allowed him to breed!?
Weird world.
Charles is right. We haven't seen the last of the slithy Rove. But I don't know about him working for Don Rudi. Rove's too Wonderbread for a consigliari.
The scumbag will be back.
my bet is arnie.
arnie needs a brain too.
wormtongue? i dunno. wormtongue corrupted a noble and decent king. and bush is no theoden. also, grima was the tool of saruman, whereas rove is just a tool.
now, how about hastert? are the rats simply deserting the sinking ship, after all?
