How come, when people are clearly just gettin' out while the gettin's good, do they always say they're doing it to spend more time with their families? Do they really think we'll forget all of the things they're running away from if they just blame their relatives? Or is this just another way of supporting family values?
Seriously, buh bye Turd Blossom. (If your friend gives you a nickname like that, what kind of enemies have you made?) I'm sure someone will miss you, but I'm guessing Congress still wants a word with you on the way out.
On a tangential note, I realized today listening to coverage of this event that in all the year's Rove's been involved in national politics, I never heard him speak until today. The voice did not fit what I imagined at all. Weird.

It's interesting to note that Karl Rove's profound influence with G.W. is due to his loyalty to the Bush family, experience as a political operative skilled in "dirty tricks" and ability to raise huge amounts of funds through direct mail solicitations. Rove does not have a college degree and his no expertise in foreign or domestic matters.
Rove unfortunately is not an exception. Alberto Gonzales, Michael Brown, etc. have been chosen for key positions based on ideological orthodoxy and personal loyalty.
While G.W. has been successful at winning elections (with an assist from the Supreme Court) there seems to be neither much intellectual heft behind his policies and actions nor appreciation of the consequences of those actions.
