Don't Let The Door Hit you...

Res Ipsa mentions below news that Turd Blossom needs more time with his family. It is a rather precipitous departure which should fuel speculation that it really is something else (what, like orchestrating the firing of US attorneys, like the politicization of the justice department?).

From the WSJ report:

In the interview, Mr. Rove said he expects Democrats to give the 2008 presidential nomination to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, whom he described as "a tough, tenacious, fatally flawed candidate." He also said Republicans have "a very good chance" to hold onto the White House in next year's elections.

Mr. Rove also said he expects the president's approval rating to rise again, and that conditions in Iraq will improve as the U.S. military surge continues. He said he expects Democrats to be divided this fall in the battle over warrantless wiretapping, while the budget battle -- and a series of presidential vetoes -- should help Republicans gain an edge on spending restraint and taxes.

Oh, I forgot the part where he said:

Cheney's popularity ratings would make a rebound and he would be remembered as the greatest Vice President since Dan Quayle and Spiro Agnew. And Bush's war department, including Rumsfeld, Wolfowicz, and Feith, would be hailed in perpetuity as the greatest war strategists since Suleiman the Magnificent.
