KARL ROVE TO RESIGN

[ck4829]

Karl Rove, President Bush's close friend and chief political strategist, plans to leave the White House at the end of August, joining a lengthening line of senior officials heading for the exits in the final 1 1/2 years of the administration.

A longtime member of Bush's inner circle, Rove was nicknamed "the architect" by the president for designing the strategy that twice won him the White House.

A criminal investigation put Rove under scrutiny for months during the investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's name but he was never charged with any crime.

Bush was expected to make a statement Monday with Rove.

4. Good news.

As long as he does not decide to work for the next candidate.

[Perry Logan]

5. ...to spend more time with his lawyers.

6. I see it as the spread of an infection.

Rove leaving the WH means he's going to hook up with a republican to get the 2008 election by any means possible AND to destroy the democratic candidate simultaneously.

You didn't think he was going home to pen his memoirs, did you?

[Perry Logan]

7. He successfully destroyed his own party in just six years. I wonder what else he can do.
