Rove Was An Asshole

Not a big shock, but the story comes from Dick Armey (who should know assholes, since he was one of the biggest!)

Rove to Resign

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.

Casual Lawbreaking

Froomkin focuses on the recent revelations out of the WH/Executive Branch today. Good stuff.

New evidence unearthed by House Democrats establishes that White House political adviser Karl Rove and many of his colleagues used Republican National Committee e-mail accounts for official business -- even though White House policy is clear that doing so is a violation of the Presidential Records Act.

How did such casual lawbreaking come to be so widespread? And why was it tolerated? Those are among the questions the White House has yet to answer satisfactorily.

It May Be Nothing.....

..but with these people, it's best never to bet that way. Remember this name, Leslie Fahrenkopf.

Is Karl an Atheist?

That would be too sweet, but Christopher Hitchens says it's so. And it's not like Hitchens drinks or anything, so it MUST be true! Dobson must be thrilled to have that little gem out.

DOJ Nightmare

TPM has a veritable potpourri of stories relating to the USAttornies firings today. This is getting deeper, and to borrow a phrase from TPMuckraker... muckier.

More Rovemania

TPM has more coverage on Rove's penetration of the whole administration for political purposes. Holy Hatch Act, Batman.

Update: WaPo has coverage.

Via Americablog.... David Iglesias filed the Hatch Act complaint that started this.
