We covered the resignation of Karl Rove yesterday on dot-com (CLICK HERE).

Here are some clips you might like…

Now I never voted for Bill Clinton, but how refreshing to see a President who can string a few sentences together.

One less Count, Conartest, Blackmailer. It is best to get rid of these cowboy mobsters while they last.

*applauds* Awesome Clinton clip. The man has a way with words – the ability to convey complex ideas in a folksy way. Interesting observation about the country being run by a bunch of white protestant guys who used to be democrats.

Great compilation of clips and stories, Jake, all summarizing the vituperative personality of Mr. Rove.
