The Village Voice has a nice headline:
Rove's 'Generation of Peace' to Finally End

He said he decided to leave after White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten told senior aides that if they stayed past Labor Day they would be obliged to remain through the end of the president’s term in January 2009.
Rove told the Wall Street Journal, "I just think it's time," adding that he is leaving "for the sake of his family."[...]
Congress is now investigating the attorney general's office over the firing of several U.S. attorneys, but Rove has refused to cooperate in the congressional hearings.
"Where is Karl Rove? Why is he hiding? Why does he throw a young staffer like you into the line of fire while he hides behind the White House curtains?" asked Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., during a judiciary committee hearing.
As for questions on whether he is resigning to avoid testifying in front of Congress, Rove told Wall Street Journal editor Paul Gigot, "I know they'll say that. But I'm not going to stay or leave based on whether it pleases the mob."
Right, Karl. Turd Blossom Karl, who's been with George since before his governorship. Getting out for the "sake of the family". FBI raids on the home and press on the lawn?
He may get to avoid testifying, and he may not be in the office, but he'll still be around.
As people do better, they start voting like Republicans - unless they have too much education and vote Democratic, which proves there can be too much of a good thing. -- Karl Rove
