The downside of Rove’s exit
On the one hand, Rove’s plan to leave the white house is as sure a signal we’ve had that the white house is hunkering down into full lame duck mode, particularly on any domestic agenda items. On the other hand, Tom Tomorrow points out what will be lost when Karl Rove leaves–material.
And now Karl, my ever-reliable Machiavellian straight-man, is leaving. Sure, maybe he’ll be back for some corruption inquiry or war crimes tribunal — but it just won’t be the same as having his blandly evil presence in the background of the Oval Office whenever I need it.
Occupational hazards for the satirist.
I’m looking forward to how the Daily Show is going to treat this for the rest of the month.
I’m assuming that the Rove tell-all book will be out in February 2009.
It’s a shame to have to admit that one man, Rove , could stymie the entire Democratic party for so long. He must have been the most powerful man in the world today or maybe not. The or not doesn’t speak well for us.
