Ding Dong! the Witch is Dead. Karl Rove has announced he will leave his position as Bush's Rasputin, effective the end of this month. Rove's role in pushing the Texas nitwit to political heights otherwise unattainable is modern politics in a nutshell: attack, lie, smear, and when in doubt steal. His exit (and presumtive fall from grace after the Nov '06 election) is too little, too late. But nice to see, nonetheless.
I fear, barring conviction for something, he may yet rise again from the dead. Metaphorically speaking, he's been poisoned, shot, weighted with chains and dumped in the Neva. Where is Prince Yusupov when we need him?
Eugene Robinson has a snarky goodbye in the Post.
