Karl Rove Resigns (Video and Some Analysis)
A teary-eyed Karl Rove announces that he will resign effective August 31. He will leave The Bush Administration that is already on the defensive in all fronts. The Lame Duck issue is probably answered with this resignation. This is the video of the press conference that was held outside of the White House in which President George W. Bush accompanies his most loyal adviser and political strategist.
The dynamic duo is finished.
“I’ve seen a man of far-sighted courage put America on a war footing and protect us against a brutal enemy in a dangerous conflict that will shape this new century. I’ve seen a leader respond to an economy weakened by recession, corporate scandal and terrorist attacks by taking decisive action to strengthen the economy and create jobs. I’ve seen a reformer who challenged his administration, the Congress and the country to make bold changes to important institutions in great need of repair.”
