WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 — Karl Rove, the political adviser who masterminded President George W. Bush’s two winning presidential campaigns, is resigning, the White House confirmed today.
In an interview published this morning in The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Rove said, “I just think it’s time,” adding, “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.”
-- Jim Rutenberg for The New York Times
Usually, when you hear of political figures needing to spend more time with their families, there is some kind of scandal or legal charge in the background, and I was wondering what happended? What scandal has blown up? But it looks like he really is just stepping down.
What will Bush do without his brain? Does this mean more power to Cheney?
