Effective August 31st, Karl Rove will resign from his post as THE BRAIIINNNNN. Rove has long been a favorite punching bag of those of us on the left, and in some ways I’m sorry to see him go, in others I’m not so sorry…

He can claim credit for political victories of historic proportions, but also stands accused of policy failures and a strategy of divisiveness.

Political victories are like getting a girl at the bar to talk to you. Sealing the deal is the policy victory, and a budding and happy relationship… well, I guess that would be a satisfied America. Rove got us (meaning America) to bat our eyelids and take a liking George W, but then he got us drunk, took advantage of us and, fearing for our own safety, has us stuck in an unwanted and very unhappy relationship.

Goodbye Karl, I hope Waxman and Leahy torment the hell out of you with subpoenas.
