Nothing will change
Why did Alberto jump ship? Simple, because Bush let him. The Democrats missed their chance to impeach him.
Perhaps Rove's departure will allow others to escape before the USS Bush II slips beneath the waves but the essence of this president and his band of incompetents will not change. What will follow is a recess appointment to bypass the vacationing Congress and more ineffective hand-wringing from the Democrats. Long overdue is impeachment for Bush and Cheney. The damage they have wrought on our Constitution and political institutions and processes is mind-boggling. They have destroyed DoJ, DoD, FEMA, Homeland Security (stillborn), EPA, FAA, FCC, CIA, etc. etc. etc. Everything important (truth, honor, freedom, intelligence) was sacrificed on the altar of political gain. But without these virtues, political gain is hollow. To control the empty shell of a government now run by idiots is to threaten our republic's very existence.
The Republicans have completed the self-fulfilling prophecy enunciated by the oracle Reagan that "gummint is the problem." After 6+ years of incompetence and corruption, the government IS the problem. It is ineffective and corrupt and insensitive to the needs of anyone other than large corporations and major donors.
The best thing that can happen between now and January 20, 2009 is that Bush and Cheney do not start a war with Iran or anyone else.
