Rove Leaves White House; Not 'Frog-Marched'
Long time Bush political advisor and Democrat nemesis Karl Rove announced that he would leave the White House at the end of August. Rove is credited with Bush's political successes, but there were doubters among my former colleagues in the White House press corps:
As Karl Rove embraced President Bush today following an emotional farewell announcement on the South Lawn, the solemnity of the moment was shattered by Bill Plante of CBS, who bellowed to Bush: "If he's so smart, how come you lost Congress?"
Let me ask you this, Bill: If you are such a good newsman, why are you still at the White House at age 70 and not in the anchor chair at CBS instead of that "tart" (as per Dan Rather) Katie Couric?
BOOK PLUG: My book, due out in September contains several behind the scense glimpses of the cadaverous Plante as well as never before published insider information about the scandal that toppled Dan Rather.
