On Rove’s Retirement

August 21st, 2007 by Editor: Scott

So, it’s been a week since Karl Rove announced his retirement and the pundits still don’t seem to see the real reason behind it. They seem to be either too happy that he’s gone or too upset that he hasn’t been indicted yet to see the obvious: Karl Rove isn’t retiring as puppet master, he’s changing puppets.

Think about it. He’s been with “W” for 34 years from before the President was a Governor. Now at the pinnacle of political power he decides he really rather go fishing this year instead of waiting until next year? Right. Away from the White House spot light, he can resume his behind-the-scenes campaign magic for one if not more of the front runners. Rove isn’t cashing out after 7 of 8 years in the White House. He’s trading his 8th year for a chance at 4 more.

Wow, maybe he really is an evil genius.
