Karl Rove, President George W. Bush’s long-standing political adviser, has announced he is to resign at the end of this month.
The decision to step down comes as poll ratings for Mr Bush remain at the lowest level since his election in 2000.
Mr Rove, a long time political ally of the president, was the architect of Mr Bush’s controversial victory in 2000 and his re-election three years ago.
But in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr Rove said he was resigning to return to his home state of Texas and spend more time with his family.
Mr Rove said he first floated the idea of leaving the White House a year ago but delayed his departure bacause of the Democrats victory in Congressional elections at the end of last year.

Good? Bad? Taking cover? Jumping ship?
Until he is taking his lunch off a tin tray, in a steel cage, inside a Federal stone box, and singing like Nancy Sinatra about the high crimes of the Bush Administration,
Fat Karl is still Dubya's rabid dog, running wild in our town square.

Something about this is not right. But as you said, DG:
Republican = The new 'Strange Fruit.'
Does this really take him beyond the reach of a Congressional subpoena? Doesn't this mean that exectutive privelge no longer applies?
Something's up, for sure. But just what...
In any case, good riddance.
Well, at least my tax dollars aren't paying his salary anymore.
Let him do his worst. There's still a few traces of the GOP he hasn't destroyed yet.
our tax dollars have funded his investment portfolio. mr. rove has, like all the other republican harlots, emerged from this far, far, richer than he was going in. sick. crooked. bastards.
they did it. they have gotten away with it.
This was a surprise, to me. I figured Karl for one of the bunkercrew forevah. But he knows that Iraq is going critical-mass.
And he knows that the repubs in congress are looking at him and measuring him for the spit for the white-house lawn sacrificial voter-barbecue.
In Rumsfeldian style:
Are there rotting skeletons in whitehouse closets with Rove's fingerprints on them? You betcha!
The longer he waits, will it become tougher for some corporation to hand him a boardroom sinecure? Certainly!
If he's out of office, and "gainfully employed" with some Fortune 500 member, will it be harder for subpoena-issuing to get much traction? In spite of "executive priviledge" being out the window, I would think so.
But, he's gone, and with him, one of george bush's nads, and the pre-frontal lobe of his brain.
P.S. I do NOT ascribe to the paranoia of some of our lefty friends, who are worried about Karl hooking up with Fred Thompson, or some GOP candidate, to work his campaign-strategy "magic".
Politically, he's already a dick-chancre. A year from now, he'll be a test-tube full of the Ebola virus.
Perhaps he's leaving to put more time into his music career. MC Rove!

I'M WITH YOU DRIFTY! Until this dirtbag is either in a cage where he can be with those of his own kind, or a rotting corpse on the street somewhere like they left so many others, he is still a threat to decency HERE, on THIS planet.
Charles, he can be supoena'd, even though he won't be part of the administration. Like Harriet Miers, I'm guessing he'll blow off the judiciary committee as she did.
He's moved on to more dirty work in secret.
I'm with Drift. He's a rabid dog who needs to be locked up and I won't rest until he is.
Mr. Natural's key words: "on THIS planet".
I would suggest putting the entire filthy crew of Busheviks and neocons in suspended animation and shooting them off the planet in a fucking DY-100.
