Karl Rove Resigns

Via NY Times:

Karl Rove, the political adviser who masterminded President George W. Bush’s two winning presidential campaigns and secured his own place in history as a political strategist with extraordinary influence within the White House, is resigning, the White House confirmed today.

I wish I could find the ding dong the witch is dead music, but, you'll just have to imagine it. The smear campaigns orchestrated by this man are only the main things that we know. I don't even want to know what else he's done... Despite this resignation, I'm sure we will see him again in a few months once the candidates are selected, watch the shadows behind the republican candidate, you'll see him. I do like this comment though, that he just tossed in there:

In his exit interview today, which was with the editorial page editor of The Wall Street Journal, Paul Gigot, Mr. Rove had a parting shot for his political nemeses, telling Mr. Gigot that he believed Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton would be the Democratic nominee but called her a “tough, tenacious, fatally flawed candidate,” and predicted a Republican victory in the 2008 presidential race. It is the sort of political boasting that had become Mr. Rove’s hallmark.

While I agree that it is very likely that Ms. Clinton will be the democratic candidate, I do not think she is fatally flawed nor do I think there is any reason to predict a republican victory. Despite that, we must not forget that it is possible, and cannot take a democratic victory for granted.
