Bush Advisor Karl Rove to Resign at End of Month
Monday, August 13, 2007

Karl Rove, longtime political advisor to President Bush, says that he will resign from the White House at the end of August, citing a desire to spend more time with his family at their home in Texas.

Rove made the announcement in an interview in Monday’s issue of The Wall Street Journal

"I just think it's time," he says. "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." Mr. Rove says.

Rove says he and his wife, Darby, plan to spend much of their time at their home in Ingram, in the Texas Hill Country. Rove’s son attends college in nearby San Antonio.

According to Rove, he first brought up the idea of leaving a year ago, but decided to stay following the Democratic takeover of Congress, saying that he didn’t want to depart on a sour note.

Also factoring into the decision was word from White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolton that if senior White House aides stayed past a certain point, they would be obliged to stay until the end of President Bush’s term in January, 2009.

Rove had worked with Bush since the President’s first campaign for Texas governor in 1993, and worked as Bush’s chief strategist in the 2000 presidential campaign.

Vice President Cheney can handle it.

The corks are popping at DCN headquearters with Rove leaving. I wonder how the liberal media will spin it?

this is going to be tough on the left.....they will need to develop a whole new fantasy life.....they have been dreaming of this so long, they might not remember how......

[red states rule]

The left will still be demanding Rove goes to jail - for what they have not said. Their hate for Rove will continue even with him gone

[KarlMarx]

they likely spin the resignation as a way of avoiding prosecution....

but, still, I think that there has been too much dependence on political advisors.. maybe (and that's a big MAYBE) Bush will do what is right for a change rather than politically expedient....

my first hunch is that Bush isn't listening to Rove any longer

I notice that Bush is threatening vetoes.... perhaps he's decided "to hell with it" and "damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead"... and is not worrying about the political fall out but is going to do what has to be done...

we need a President in the White House, not a politician...

It is nice to finally see Pres Bush ready to veto these spending bills - should have done that years ago

Rove willl be missed and it will be interesting to see who replaces him. Dems will declare war on him within 24 hours of his appointment

[theHawk]

The poor libs will have no one to villify!

[JohnDoe]

There has to be a reason for him not sticking out the 8 years...this just doesn't make sense to me???

It seems highly untimely and Rove doesn't make a MOVE without thinking it thru and having a political reason to do it at the moment it is done, and with a specific goal accomplished at the end of it... imo.... so, we will see....

Whos campaign will he turn up in?

Bush is done ,he can never hold office again.

Rove is on to the next Patsy.

That's what I suspect as well. He'll take a few months off, and then join with one of the Republican candidates.

Karl Rove: Thank you for your service to our country.

Now go fuck yourself.
