Bush's Brain Scampers; Chief Executive Frantically Calls Neurologist

So the tidbit of gossip I passed on to you all last month has come to pass. Rove is leaving the White House.

Go ahead and cheer. Get it out.

I'm afraid I have to burst your bubble.

My original thought, that Rove retiring would be the best thing to happen to America since Bush v. Gore, was very wrong.

This is entirely too convenient and too easy.

Look, folks, Bush and Cheney DO NOT BELIEVE THEY WILL BE IMPEACHED. But they do know that it's getting harder and harder for them to get away with crap. Sending Rove home is a smoke screen. It's a hopeful distraction for Bush and Cheney. Many in this country will think, as I did at first, "hey, the brains of the outfit is gone! The sh***head that was thinking up all this crap won't be around to think any more! We won a BIG round!"

This will not end his involvement with the administration in the least. After all, he IS "Bush's Brain". News reports said Bush appeared "Grim-faced". The prospect of even PRETENDING to lose his brain was painful.

At the very least, getting Rove out of the White House grants Rove plausible deniability. Usually it's the President that needs it, but Bush & Cheney know that if Rove falls, the whole house of cards comes down.

Do not believe for a second that Rove's involvement with this administration is over. In fact, I think we should keep an eye out for some very possibly nasty crap to come down the line.

Rove said one of the first things he's going to do is go dove hunting. Let's hope he takes the Vice President along.

Peace
