Novak: Rove To Retire After Bush's Term Ends
Is Karl Rove retiring from politics? That's what Robert Novak says. In his latest column, he reports:
To little notice in the national media, Bush presidential adviser Karl Rove disclosed during a Washington speaking engagement last week that he will not return to his lifetime profession as a political consultant when he leaves the White House. Rove referred to himself as "a former political consultant" and said that he was leaving the game.
We're trying to get our hands on that speech. We'll keep you posted.

Geez, and after he led the party to victory in the midterms. He had the numbers that nobody else had. Even Bush believed him.

Don't know about "lucrative speaking circuit". After all, he's the enabler of Bush and his ratings should be same as Bush's. Even the Republicans may be so fed up with the big screw ups Bush and Rove have perpetuated on the country and the rest of the world that they won't pay to hear him speak.

I suspect he's accompanying shrubya to that luxurious exile in Paraguay.

Karl Rove is unfriendly. And Karl Rove is now stripped of his mystique. Unless he starts his own Rush Limbaugh show, he won't be much in demand.
What really neads to happen is an investigation into his ties to his old company and business partners while he was serving in his government job. Karl sold his B&B for several hundred thousand dollars over assessed value to former business partners Todd Olsen and Bob Thomas. Surely that's an ethical lapse!

How about unluxorious exile with shrubya in the Hague while he awaits his trial at the International Court of Justice.
