Rove is resigning

The biggest rat of all is jumping off the sinking Bush ship. Karl Rove will leave George Bush's side at the end of August. He's quitting:

Karl Rove, President Bush's close friend and chief political strategist, plans to leave the White House at the end of August, joining a lengthening line of senior officials heading for the exits in the final 1 1/2 years of the administration.

A longtime member of Bush's inner circle, Rove was nicknamed "the architect" by the president for designing the strategy that twice won him the White House.

Yep. And, Rove has also helped make Bush one of the worst and least popular Presidents ever.
