Rove will be indicted

Karl Rove has informed his colleagues in the White House that he will be indicted and will resign when the news goes public.

In addition to the Plame affair, Rove's name has been linked to Abramoff's visits to the White House.

Rove has an unbelievable string of reprehensible political tactics that have resulted in victories of one kind or another. Push polling, savage attacks and the use of wedge issues to ratchet up the rancor of public discourse are all Rove hallmarks.

We have Rove to thank for some, maybe a lot, of the bitterness of our public discussions, the cronyism over competence currently infecting our public institutions, the relentless spin-infused ideological purity with which this adminsitration has painted its stupidest moments.

And to that, all I have to say is: Good riddance.
