Karl Rove Bails

According to Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, Karl Rove, George Bush’s longtime political strategist, is resigning at the end of this month.

“I just think it's time. There's always something that can keep you here, and as much as I'd like to be here, I've got to do this for the sake of my family.”

Oh.

Now that you put it that way all of this makes complete sense.

Rove, 56, is still married to his second wife, his former employee, Darby Tara Hickson and they have one son, Andrew, 18.

So what do you do after being a political hack all of your adult life, and rise to the absolute zenith of political hackery, political advisor to the president? I guess we’ll find out someday.

Don’t let the door hit you on your way out Carl baby.
