The resignation of Bush's right hand man Karl Rove has unleashed some good headline in the papers this morning.
Perhaps none better than the Indy which taking a leaf out of an old spitting image portrayal of President Reagan says
Bush's brain goes missing as Karl Rove retires
The paper leaving us in no doubt its views
"Karl Rove RESIGNS!!! Karl Rove Resigns - Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead [breaking news - no irony] Short and Sweet: Rove resigns!"
The bloggers were at it early yesterday morning, as the online bush telegraph breathlessly passed on the news that the man the Democrats love to hate, the tousle-haired and bespectacled Andy Warhol lookalike, Karl Rove, had announced his departure from the Bush White House.
It is not just the Indy though
End of ‘Bush’s brain’ will bring down the curtain on lame-duck President says the Times
And the Guardian reminds us
Mr Rove found himself under siege for much of this year, facing investigation over a CIA outing scandal and a separate row over the sacking of eight US attorneys.
The Democrats may continue to pursue him after he leaves office at the end of the month. "There is a cloud over this White House, and a gathering storm," said Senator Patrick Leahy, chairman of the judiciary committee. "A similar cloud envelopes Mr Rove, even as he leaves the White House."
