According to the Wall Street Journal, Rove will leave his 1600 Pennsylvannia Avenue gig by [...]

My wife and I have running disagreement on the U.S. involvement in Iraq. From day one she’s been against it and refused to support it, I was against our reasons for going, but supported the action (and the responsibilities associated with that decision) until my statement yesterday that it was time to go.

…You if you can pay the freight.
As if the White House wasn’t stumbling badly enough, Dan Bartlett has found his replacement as the president’s senior advisor in the person of former RNC Chairman and long-time DC lobbyist Ed Gillespie.
With all of the scandal surrounding the political shakedowns of Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, Jack Abramoff, and [...]

New NBC / Wall Street Journal poll results indicate that “Washington is broken,” according to NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert. Here’s the video for the story.
Biggest takeaway from this story is that 66% of the electorate is displeased with President Bush’s performance AND (according to NBC News, emphasis below is mine)…
