Rove resigning sucks!
Think about it--he's leaving on his own accord. There is no cloud over him (from the MSM) leaving, there are likely never to be criminal charges against him, and there is no public outrage (except from us "looney Democrats" to help end his career. It's bittersweet, but mostly bitter, and I, for one, am going to blame the idiots in Congress--on both sides--who didn't rush to set the MSM record straight, and make sure that Karl had no future doing anything except perhaps being a janitor or a junkyard owner.

"College years at the University of Utah, and the Dixon campaign incident

In the fall of 1969, aged 18, Rove entered the University of Utah, on a $1,000 scholarship,<4> as a political science major and joined the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity.

Through the University's Hinckley Institute of Politics, Rove got an internship with the Utah Republican Party. That position and contacts from the 1968 Bennett campaign, helped Rove land a job in 1970 in Illinois, helping on the unsuccessful re-election campaign of Ralph Tyler Smith for the Senate. Smith lost to Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson III.

In the fall of 1970, Rove used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Illinois State Treasurer, and stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead. Rove then printed fake campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing", and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters, with the effect of disrupting Dixon's rally (Dixon eventually won the election). Rove's role would not become publicly known until August 1973. Rove told the Dallas Morning News in 1999, "It was a youthful prank at the age of 19 and I regret it."<5>"

2. Yeah, I'm not so excited as
some are about it, either.

It does show a certain amount of "he knows his fucking number is up", though.

Can't he still be indicted while he's down in Texas drawing on his Swiss/Cayman bank accounts?
