Okay, so I’m gonna go ahead and say something that I never thought I’d say. I’m sure you never thought someone on this site would say this.

Karl Rove needs to either resign, or be fired.

That simple.

Through his lawyer, he’s comfirmed to have been the source in the White House for the Newsweek/New York Times article exposing Valerie Plume as a CIA Op. Bush said two years ago that the source of the leak would be fired. And yet today, the White House has backed Rove nonetheless.

This is now an issue with the possibility of putting a crack into the integrity of Bush’s administration. Every day that Karl Rove remains at the side of Bush as an official advisor and member of the administration’s staff further tarnishes the president’s reputation and legacy itself.

I know they’re friends. I know that Rove got Bush to where he is. And I know that without Rove, Bush loses a major intellectual asset in his staff. But with Rove, things just look more and more dirty.

Rove needs to go as an official advisor. If you want him and his input, keep him as an unofficial, unpaid advisor- but don’t keep him on the public dime, not after this.

Out.
