So here I am having a cup of coffee at the hotel coffee shop and look up just in time to see the news story that Karl Rove is resigning to “spend more time with his family”. Not only is he resigning, but by the end of this month.
Let us parse the code here. Since the Bush White House never tells the truth and speaks in krypto-neocon some translation is needed. I would suspect that the phrase “spend more time with his family”, means time to prepare his defense with his lawyers. The word “resign” in the Bush White House means fired. Finally the hasty exit would indicate that either an indictment is pending or the GOP has forced Karl out in hopes of polishing the president’s image.
Rove is just another rat leaving the sinking Bush ship and I cannot imagine that his departure was not accompanied by some fierce talk in the White House. Congress is closing in on Bush and his cronies and Rove was a very weak link in their chain of deniability. He was getting some cover with the old Bush standby “executive privilege” but that is becoming tiresome and I suspect Congress won’t continue to cave to that excuse.
I have to wonder if Karl is not going home to spend time with his family as they prepare to move to a summer home in Paraguay to avoid prosecution for high crimes?
