the milkbaby is to resign August 31st

Everyone is posting about how Karl Rove is resigning on August 31st, but almost no one knows what to make of it. Frankly, it makes me extremely nervous, because it seems like good news... which means that it probably is not. There's something fishy about this. I worry that Cheney has something to do with it, and as much as i loathe Rove, i fear Cheney even more.

The Next Hurrah offers some theories. She doesn't mention Cheney though. It doesn't feel like these investigations by Congress would rattle Rove though, and Rove being ejected because he's too hungry for votes to pander to the nativist vote doesn't ring true either. This is probably an internal power struggle in the White House. The Democrats have proven too ineffective time after time for anything else to be credible. Cheney must be the root cause.
