[scowl] Rove is quitting so he can join the campaign of a soon-to-be-drafted Jeb Bush, to rescue the nation from the (truly) evil clutches of Stalina herself, Hitlery Clinton. After a long search next year, they will discover, after having requested his assistance on vetting suitable candidates, that Jeb Bush's Vice Presidential nominee will be Richard Cheney. And then there's, of course, <strong>Bush-Rove 2008 McCain-Rove 2008 Gingrich-Rove 2008 Rove-Cheney 2008 Rove-Limbaugh 2008</strong> I’m actually surrprised and impressed by the remarks on this thread, given as it came after Shaun’s tiresome Bush-bashing and other attacks on Rove that match those we see and predict elsewhere, as the Usual Suspects predictably emerge from the woodwork, or from under their rocks.

McCain-Rove 2008

Gingrich-Rove 2008

Rove-Cheney 2008

Rove-Limbaugh 2008

I do wonder if Rove will end up managing one of the Repub Presidential campaigns -- Romney, perhaps? I don't see Guiliani needing him. And would McCain want to work with him after what Rove did to McCain in the 2000 elections?

I'm struck not by Rove's vaunted genius, but by the level of emotion he elicits from his admirers and detractors. Not since, I think, the days of Haldeman has a COS been held up as either a genius or a criminal. I don't find analysis of Turd Blossom that interesting, but I will hazard a hunch: Methinks that he has been given notice that he's in the clear as far as any prosecution is concerned, so now he can take off. I am reminded of an old New Yorker cartoon wherein a well dressed man is speaking before a bank of microphones: "I'm leaving to spend more time with my lawyers." Love the picture.
