Now, if only the Democrats can come up with the own version of a master strategist, they may be able to put up a good fight in presidential elections.

Hello Mallika and Everyone,

I made a couple of comments in OT so I do not have much to add but this..Karl, don't let the door hit you on the way out, and if you are inclined to make up for all the damage you have inflicted on your Nation you might round up yer partners in crime, President Doofus and Vice President Ding Dong, and take them with you.

I see a bright and prosperous future in Consultating for the "boy genius" in his home State of Texas.

have a great evening everyone, ruth

Hello Mallika and Everyone,

a little something from the nytimes today,

President Bush took a risk when he put someone so focused on politics as blood sport at the center of his White House. Once he did, he had an obligation to ensure that Mr. Rove understood that his job was to promote the interests of the American people — not solely the Republican Party. Instead, Mr. Rove used his position and power to relentlessly pursue his declared goal of a permanent Republican majority.

Mr. Rove appears to have been deeply involved in the decision to fire nine top federal prosecutors, apparently for either bringing cases that hurt Republicans or refusing to bring cases to punish Democrats. There is also mounting evidence that he turned nonpartisan agencies into campaign boosters, quite possibly violating federal law. Earlier this month, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales admitted that Justice Department officials attended political briefings at the White House, some led by Mr. Rove. Officials at the General Services Administration and Peace Corps, and even six American ambassadors, among others, were also given briefings.

Mr. Rove has stonewalled Congress’s legitimate efforts to investigate. Some of his key e-mail messages on the United States attorneys matter appear to have mysteriously disappeared, while others are being withheld with baseless claims of executive privilege. As for defying that Senate subpoena, some subjects might have been protected by privilege, but Mr. Rove’s refusal to show up at all is outrageous — although totally in keeping with his and his boss’s disdain for the separation of powers.

Mr. Rove failed his own party, as well as the American people, when he counseled President Bush to turn every serious policy debate — Social Security, the war in Iraq, even terrorism — into one more political dogfight. Today, despite Mr. Rove’s claims of invincibility, both houses of Congress are back in Democratic hands, Mr. Bush’s approval ratings are around 30 percent and many Republican presidential candidates are running as fast as they can away from the Bush legacy.

Goodbye? Not so fast...

There's a lucrative consulting/lobbyists career waiting for Karl, and he has already told us he will write a book...

These guys have a way of appearing here and there all over the beltway and making huge amounts of money through sweetheart deals and speaker's fees.

Expect to see him as an "expert" on FOX news and other right wing outlets, including Murdoch's newest political tabloid, formerly known as the Wall Street Journal.

"“These guys have a way of appearing here and there all over the beltway and making huge amounts of money through sweetheart deals and speaker's fees," says Yogi.

Yogi, speaking of appearing, if justice were to prevail at all, it would be sweet to see him, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the other co-authors of the Iraq war make an appearance at the Hague to duly answer charges for crimes against humanity; not continuing to grossly line their already fat wallets with more money! That would be like adding insult to injury to the innocent victims of this war.
