Rove walks

As unbelievable as it is, Karl Rove will resign from the White House at the end of the month. Good riddance (if only for the time being) to one of the dirty-trickingest bastards to ever make it to Washington - that he is not in jail for any number of offenses is a testament to his scheming prowess.

Even more significant, however, we can mark this day as the end of George Bush’s ignoble political career. From here on out, we are clockwatching until January 20, 2009. Then, a Democrat will be inaugurated, and we can finally say to the world, “Hey, sorry about the last guy. We are not all assholes.”
