Who else can Bush trust to keep his and Cheney's bodies buried until the next Republican takes over on January 20, 2009?
The one, the only, Karl "THE math" Rove.

Bush will have to make a recess appointment, but it all makes sense now. Karl resigned so he can take over Justice and rig the next election. The Bushies cannot allow the citizens to decide the next election or they know they'll all end up in prison.
The White House knows the Senate Dems will bluster, but have no power to stop it. Just look how easily they were steamrollered on the FISA fiasco.
By the time the 2008 election rolls around Karl, with control of the FBI and the rest of the Justice Department's investigation units, will have found enough dirt on some of our nominees for a few indictments. Then he can parlay that into enough bogus indictments to regain the House and Senate --- and who is going to stop him?
The Republican nominee will get elected, no matter how the voters actually vote, because Karl will be in charge of counting the votes. Bush will issue a blanket pardon for all Republicans everywhere on January 19 and the coup will be complete.
Then it's all over but the battle to decide who bleeds the most out of the country - ExxonMobil or Walmart?
