Scotty's gone and Rove is "shedding some duties...?"

low-hanging fruit...

A Bush administration shake-up continued Wednesday, with White House press secretary Scott McClellan announcing his resignation and a source saying that adviser Karl Rove would shed some duties.

"shedding some duties...!?!?" you mean he's not going to be shooting off his mouth on foreign policy like he did last week on iran...? you mean he's not going to be crafting mean-spirited character assassinations of bush's political foes...?

Rove, the president's longtime confidant and adviser, is giving up oversight of policy development to focus more on politics with the approach of the fall midterm elections.

The source told NBC that the shift was “an acknowledgement of the tough political climate.”

Rove “is the best pitcher in the league in terms of politics and strategy,” the source added, so “it’s obvious” he should focus on the mid-term elections.

Just over a year ago, Rove was promoted to deputy chief of staff in charge of most White House policy coordination. That new portfolio came on top of his title as senior adviser and role of chief policy aide to Bush.

the only rational response to karl rove is to conduct a forcible exorcism...
