"I'm grateful to have been a witness to history. It has been the joy and the honor of a lifetime," said Rove, his voice quivering at times. "But now is the time. ... At month's end," Rove said, "I will join those whom you meet in your travels, the ordinary Americans who tell you they are praying for you....and for the Almighty's continued blessing for our country."
Oh dear. What a tear-jerking moment; it's a three-hanky flash.
Well, except for one teeny, weeny problem. Kinna hard to pray when you're a non-believer. In other words, as the president likes to say when explaining things, Karl is a heathen -- an atheist -- an infidel. Take your pick and you'll be right.
As to his reasons for leaving the White House; it is for the "sake of [his] family," code word for cashing-in.
