Mitch McConnell Praises Karl Rove As He Resigns In Disgrace

Mitch McConnell had more praise his close friend Karl Rove today, as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff announced his resignation. Of course, McConnell talked Rove into hiring his political director Scott Jennings, who it now appears will continue to be investigated along with Rove:

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky also praised Rove’s tenure.

“Karl Rove has made an enormous contribution to our country and our party. Now, as he leaves the White House and turns to new challenges, I wish him and his family well as they begin this new chapter in their lives,” McConnell said.

It is good to see McConnell deciding to embrace family values once again, after skipping his mother-in-law’s funeral a couple weeks ago to hurl insults at his political opponents at Fancy Farm.
