The (far too) slow dismantling of the Bush Cabal continues with the long-awaited departure of the hideous Karl Rove. Yet to be answered: why is he resigning? Will George Bush suddenly degenerate into even more of a gibbering chimp once he is gone?
Aside from the resignation itself, the most surprising thing I learned as I woke up this morning: Rove has a family? Funny how they were never mentioned before today, when he suddenly had the desire to “spend more time with his family,” the #1 resignation excuse in the Bush administration. (This always rings hollow when the children, as in this case, are college-age. A little late to be spending time with them now, don’t you think?)
Just can’t wait to find out the story behind this, the indictments about to hit or the scandal about to break. Another gay prostitute in the White House, perhaps?
Sadly, it may be that this is timed so that he survives to come back and sleaze his way around again in the future; a cockroach that slithers away before the exterminator was able to spray and hides in a dark hole reproducing by the billions, biding his time.
In addition to “Turd Blossom,” Rove’s other Bush-bestowed nickname is “The Architect.” He designed and built a hideous, vile monstrosity; which is now falling apart, groaning under it’s own evil weight.
