“Karl Rove, President Bush’s longtime political adviser, is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas,” writes the WSJ, in its first huge scoop since being taken over by genocidal tyrant, Rupert Murdoch.

“I just think it’s time,” Mr. Rove said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal’s editorial page editor, Paul Gigot. “There’s always something that can keep you here, and as much as I’d like to be here, I’ve got to do this for the sake of my family.”

Coincidentally, leaving is also a great way for Rove to whitewash that whole ugly Senate Judiciary Committee scandal! Either way, our consolations to the White House administration for losing what WH press secretary Dana Perino describes as, “a great colleague, good friend and brilliant mind” Or, as Queerty puts it, “Bush’s lead shithead.”
