Karl Rove's buddy resigns post as WH Counsel

Greg Craig has finally been pushed out as White House Counsel. But we can thank him for all of his efforts in crafting what has come to be known as the "deal with the devil" - the deal between Karl Rove and the House Judiciary Committee.

Here are some snips from an article I did on the deal:

A deal brokered by the Obama White House to obtain Karl Rove’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee contains a number of unusual provisions, prominent legal scholars say.

Rove testified before the Judiciary Committee on July 7 concerning his alleged involvement in the December 2006 firings of seven US Attorneys and the prosecution of Don Siegelman. The Committee is being extremely tight-mouthed about the result, and Rove himself has also declined to comment.

1. FINALLY I can make sense of this departure... Thank goodness for LaLa.

I swear to God if it weren't for her, no one would know what the hell's going on half the time.

Now lets make sure this story doesn't fade into the ether.

2. Does anyone understand why Obama kept him on in the first place? (nt)

3. K&R #5 for, Now it's clear

I wondered why there was so much gnashing of teeth and moaning over this dude's ouster. Cable yakkers were calling him the only competent Democratic lawyer. I didn't pay attention to who the yakkers were, but now it seems clear.
