Rove’s Departure: The Hunted Remains The HuntedThe New York Times and others weigh in with the obvious: Karl Rove’s departure doesn’t change a thing with regard to the Democrats’ investigations of him. They’ll keep pursuing him, and the White House will keep stonewalling with the same sweeping claims of executive privilege. The only thing that changes is that Rove has got to get himself a lawyer.
As for Rove, he says that he’s the Democrats’ Moby Dick. Given how well read he is, I’m sure he knows how that novel ends (not well for Captain Ahab). The Democrats, to be sure, would prefer another metaphor.
