Rove resigns so what do you think?

CNN is lying.

lol good riddance to that idiot

CNN is lying.

It is not April fools.... ;) BTW they all lie.

He's not leaving that administration. You watch.

I suppose we will find out on the 30th

He's not leaving that administration. You watch.

He's officially resigning, but I doubt he'll stay out of politics for a while. The party needs a thinker like Rove more than the President does at this point. My guess is Rove will be trying to help the Republican candidates for 2008.

What It Means (tm):

1) He is "officially resigning." He will probably stay in the WH for some time after August while they "look" for his "replacement." Unless, of course, his replacement has already been picked and it's some toadying sycophant (read: personal friend) of his.

2) Even though he is no longer an advisor to the President, Bush will still order him not to testify before Congress on any issue, claiming executive privilege.

3) Rove is seen by the Republican party as a political liability and this is a concession made under extreme backroom pressure. EDIT: NO, SCRATCH THIS. SEE (5) BELOW. MUCH MORE LIKELY.

4) Rove got a BIG book deal.

5) Not working for Bush anymore means he will be free to engineer the campaign of the next Republican candidate.

its time for mr rove to resign. he has to get to work on the campaign of the next republican nominee for president.

good observation. ;)

Alwell. It is a shame he is leaving but maybe it might be for the best. That way, he can begin to plan the campaign against Hitlery.

Too good to be true, but I will be happy if that "turd blossom di tutti turd blossoms" is in fact resigning.

Well I'm gonna look at the positive side of this and just think that hopefully he's resigning because he has prostate cancer. :) Wouldn't that be great!

Maybe he is resigning because there is a giant asteroid heading towards Earth.

It means something bad is going to happen.

Um no. No one should ever have cancer but I know that will not happen for awhile :(

And are you smiling because you hope he has it or the fact that he is resigning?

Everyone knows Satan cant get cancer. Geeze.

I think Karl Rove is among the most evil pieces of shit to ever adorn the political stage in this country. I don't feel that way about Bush, I just think he's a simpleton who got in over his head and was too incompetent to do anything well. Rove, on the other hand, is an unashamed liar and a cheat and he should suffer for what he has done to our country and our world. If he told me he was dying of concer I would laugh and tease him about it mercilessly until he died. :)

Ding dong, the pyscho's gone!

As would I! In fact, I'd offer him a smoke - Anything to speed up the process =D

Once more, we see one of the guilty sigh, say "My work here is done" and ride off into the sunset.....

ALL HAIL THE ARMIES OF ROVE!!!

Once he fell down from being too weak to stand, I'd pee on him. :)

...unless he was on fire.

If this gets him out from under the umbrella of executive privilege, it's like Christmas coming early.

...unless he was on fire.

I'd pee on the parts that weren't on fire. Then I'd laugh really loud and start yelling to passersby to come laugh at the cancer boy and to pee on him, too. I'd want to make sure before he died a painful death that people in general hate him and think he's a piece of worthless shit. I'd like him to die in pain and in complete despair. :)

It doesn't. Doesn't matter even if it did, because this guy has no problem at lying.

Thinker????

I'd say he's 'jumped the shark'....

...unless he was on fire.

Then I'd inject my bladder with kerosene.

Thrown a few subordinates to the shark, yes, but not jumped it. Rove is still sharp when to comes to elections and short-term public opinion manipulation, so I imagine the Republicans will have him helping out whichever candidate faces off against the Democrats in the election. Behind the scenes, of course, as a "consultant" so that the party can wash their hands of him quickly if they need to.

Shit. I gotta kick that wishful thinking habit. :(

Surely ....sorry but I am a bit incredulous...Bush is discredited by now????

And everyone knows what Roves role was...argh fucking politicians...scumsucking turd wanking tosspots the lot of them!

*ahem*

sorry.

PsychoticDan and Szanth, keep your bodily fluids and wishes for someone's death to yourselves.

alas, tv shows go on sometimes for years after they have jumped the shark, why should rove be any different?

do you really think that rudy "if you elect a democrat the terrorists win" giuliani wont use rove if he gets a chance?

He's quitting so he can help Stan Smith win the deaconship.

Bush is discredited, but Rove can probably distance himself from that clusterfuck of an administration pretty easily. If the whole Libby indictment showed us anything, it was that all scandals aimed at Rove would be intercepted by willing lackeys, ready to spare him the blame. Rove will just work in the background once the media stops paying attention to him and pull strings from the shadows like he did in the first term of Bush's administration.

OOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........


I really, really, really hate Karl Rove, though. I mean I really hate his guts. :(

A little bit of bloodlust won't hurt anyone will it?

Agreed.

The whole rats jumping ship thing.

The one thing that Rove is very, very very good at is moibilzing the base. He found beautiful 'wedge issues' that got right leaning voters up off their butts and into the voting booths. Whatever other legacy he leaves (and I think it will be a BAD one), you have to respect his grasp of his political strategy.

Well I'm gonna look at the positive side of this and just think that hopefully he's resigning because he has prostate cancer. :) Wouldn't that be great!

Maybe he took it too personally when Shrubya had Rove's leftovers scraped out of his colon, and felt like he wasn't really "on the inside track" with Shrubya anymores.

...just askin'.

Agreed.

Hey, i take umbrage to your statement.
Rats have more class. Seriously.

ALL HAIL THE ARMIES OF ROVE!!!

Blackwater?

Thirded...

...what could have been so bad as to have made this particular rat jump?

It can't be good.

The right-wing/conservative/Republican ship is sinking.

This is a good thing, isn't it? There isn't anything left for the rats to do but disappear back into the cushy corporate board positions from which they slithered.

Would've been nice if he quit sooner.

its a good sign, but not quite the fall of the pseudo-religeous corporate empire.

makes me all warm and fuzzy to hear it though.

Don't kid yourself. They'll slink into the background, sure, but they'll use their corporate muscle to sway events.

*ahem*

sorry.

30% of the country still supports Bush. On behalf of the US, I apologize for our idiocy.

I would go so far as to say that at the very least, 65-70% of the population don't know who Rove is or what he does. Sad as it is.

I lol'd - American Dad ftw sometimes.
