Rove to resign at end of August

The Wall Street Journal, despite being owned by Rupert Murdoch, has the story:

Karl Rove, President Bush's longtime political adviser, is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas, marking a turning point for the Bush presidency.

Mr. Rove's departure removes one of the White House's most polarizing figures, and perhaps signals the effective end of the lame duck administration's role in shaping major domestic policy decisions. Mr. Rove revealed his plans in an interview with Paul Gigot, editor of The Wall Street Journal's editorial page. (See related commentary.)

Good riddance, but don't start thinking that this gets you out of any subpoenas, Mr. Rove. You still have a lot to answer for.
