Karl Rove and President Bush got on the TV this morning and announced that Rove was leaving the Bush Administration and heading home to Texas to re-enter the private sector.
Here's the $64,000 question: so what?
The sheer amount of panting and labored breathing coming from the news media and the Democrats this morning (and all day) was hilarious! They couldn't get Rove charged with political crimes, couldn't get him to testify before Congress, and couldn't get him to budge on any issues. The Dems and the press failed to take out Rove. He left of his own accord, when the timing was right to him.
The only thing they're trying to hang their hats on now is the "symbolic end of the Bush Administration." They've been saying that since the day after Gore tried and failed to litigate his way into the White House. They've already been there and done that with the "end of Bush" thingy.
The irony here is too delicious to ignore. What will the Congressional Democrats do if Bush keeps winning political fights without his political attack dog around? Who will they blame? They may come to rue the day that Rove left town. It was easy for them to blame "Bush's Brain" for their defeats, but if Bush takes them head-on by himself and wins, especially on Iraq war funding, who will deserve the title of "idiot" more?
I'm looking forward to watching and finding out.
