      Continuing the flood of resignations as the exodus from the White House begins a bit early, Karl Rove, one of the President's closest advisors and the subject of derision in the press and scorn among his opponents resigned today. He cited a need to spend more time with his family.

     The President had this to say about Rove's leaving. "We are really happy that Karl re-signed and agreed to stay the course. That's what a good man should do and Karl is a good man. I believe in him. And when you believe in somebody, you protect 'em. That's what I do. I make decisions and I protect. I protect the people of this great country from a house of dominos and I make decisions all day long."

      "Well, as I said, it is great to know that I have the backing and trust of someone I believe in. Karl will work closely with me and Rummy in the coming years to help fight tearists. And he's a good man for the country. I'm glad he re-signed."

     It was not immediately apparent to reporters what the President  meant or understood. Presidential spokesperson Tony Snow who also resigned was unavailable for comment on the President's remarks.
