With Congress and the President on vacation, the Journal says Karl Rove &#8220;is resigning as White House deputy chief of staff effective Aug. 31, and returning to Texas.&#8221; Rove made the disclosure in an interview with Paul Gigot, editor of The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s editorial page.&#8221; In that interview, summarized by Gigot in an opinion piece that appears on page A15 of today&#8217;s edition, Rove says he &#8220;sees recovery ahead&#8221; for Bush and the GOP. &#8220;He will move back up in the polls,&#8221; says Mr. Rove, &#8220;who interrupts my reference to Mr. Bush&#8217;s 30% approval rating by saying it&#8217;s heading close to &#8216;40%,&#8217; and &#8216;higher than Congress.'&#8221; Rove outlined his predictions for other political events, noting that &#8220;&#8216;Iraq will be in a better place&#8217; as the surge continues. Come the autumn, too, &#8216;we&#8217;ll see in the battle over FISA&#8217; &#8212; the wiretapping of foreign terrorists &#8216;a fissure in the Democratic Party.&#8217; Also in the fall, &#8216;the budget fight will have been fought to our advantage,&#8217; helping the GOP restore, through a series of presidential vetoes, its brand name on spending restraint and taxes.&#8221; Rove predicts the Democrats will &#8220;nominate a tough, tenacious, fatally flawed candidate,&#8221; Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the GOP will have a &#8220;very good chance&#8221; to keep the White House. Rove &#8220;knows he&#8217;ll continue to be a target, even from afar, since belief in his influence over every Administration decision has become, well, faith-based.&#8221; Rove said, &#8220;I&#8217;m a myth. There&#8217;s the Mark of Rove.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110122074705\/http:\/\/www.usnews.com\/usnews\/politics\/bulletin\/bulletin_070813.htm\">(Original Article)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. News and World Report Rove To Leave White House August 31 At 4 o&#8217;clock this morning, the Wall Street Journal&#8217;s website dropped a bombshell on Washington, DC.
