On his last day, nearly two weeks later, Rove spent the whole morning with Bush before the tear-jerking exit, ruffling his hair, telling him to "be brave" and "listen to Cheney," and explaining that he was going to have to be "the man of the White House now."

Here it is, the untold story of Karl Rove's departure from the White house which, of course, had Dick Cheney's fingerprints all over it but was also filled with bittersweet remorse, for George W Bush had finally lost his brain ~ or what was left of it, when Rove roared away in his sedan.

Make no mistake about it ~ this was a heart wrenching moment for Bush who had been told, in no uncertain terms by Uncle Dick, that Rove was a liability, not to be listened to and only Uncle Dick had his best interests at heart.

The Onion satirically takes it from there along with exclusive candid photos of the tear jerking White House departure scene.

Heartbroken Bush Runs After Departing Rove's Car

August 31, 2007 | Issue 43•35 / THE ONION

WASHINGTON, DC—A confused President Bush broke free from the restraint of Secret Service agents this morning and ran in pursuit of departing deputy chief of staff Karl Rove's car for several blocks down Pennsylvania Avenue before being outdistanced by the vehicle.

Bush sits in disbelief as his longtime buddy disappears forever and ever and ever.

"Why can't I go with him?" Bush tearfully asked advisers as the longtime Republican strategist's sedan disappeared over the horizon. "When is he coming back?"

White House staff were deeply moved by the scene, saying that despite their best efforts, no one was able to explain to the president that he would no longer be able to remain at his chief adviser's side. Onlookers were clearly choked up as a tearful Rove, trying to close the car door behind him, told Bush in a stern, commanding tone to back away.

"Go on…you hear me? Get out of here, I say!" Rove said. "I don't love you anymore, understand? Now get! Get!"

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice witnessed the emotionally charged moment. "We knew that deep down [Rove] still cared, that he was only pretending to be mad at the president," she said. "But he had no choice. Leaving was the only way to avoid the ongoing Congressional inquiries."

Rove reportedly tried to prepare Bush for this inevitability in late July by taking him on a special fishing trip so they could spend some quality time together and he could also give Bush a brief rundown on how the presidency works. Rove said he "didn't have the heart" to break the news to the president, who fell asleep in their rowboat with the fishing pole still in his hands. On his last day, nearly two weeks later, Rove spent the whole morning with Bush before the tear-jerking exit, ruffling his hair, telling him to "be brave" and "listen to Cheney," and explaining that he was going to have to be "the man of the White House now."

Bush Heartbroken Jump

Rove was finally able to leave the White House, despite Bush's heartrending stalling tactics.

Though Rove's resignation had been imminent for weeks, Bush appeared oblivious to the situation, which is evident in photos of him smiling as if nothing were wrong until the moment he discovered several suitcases near one of the West Wing's back-door exits. According to high-level administration sources, Bush asked Rove, "Where are we going?"

Personally...

...I'd have written it with a much gayer subtext, but it was funny nonetheless.

Blessed be!

Departure .really ?

Mister bush, dry up your crocodile-tears. You know ( and your unadoring public knows ) your good buddy is just around the bend...waiting for you to catch up with him. ) So, stop the theatrics Please ! How else could you possibly hold back all the writhings those subpeonas were going to bring to light...and put your boy thru..trying to save you and cheney > He deserves an 'A' for effort for all the lying he has already done for both of you. Hide him away in Peace, please ! You know you both will soon be following after... if not now...certainly so, in 2008. Paraguay, Here We Come !! Does Rove have an adjoining Ranchero ? How redundant to ask. Of course he does ! ' Bon Voyage, Turd Blossom..You did a ''Heck of a fine job'' for your master. You deserve a soft cushion to curl up on now, and to be allowed to gnaw your bone in peace. You served your purpose well.' Joke ? Hardly. VGF

Personally Speaking

I think I need to get a book on public restroom etiquitte, so I can understand what Republican actions are sanctioned and what are not. I've always thought that Rove and Bush were always, ah, too, ... close. The same with Harriet. The White House has public restrooms, for the touring groups. The last two or three weeks, I have learned a lot, but would be interested in a book to keep me abreast.

My first semester at college was eye-opening to me. One day a young man came into my room and asked my roommate, "Are you queen?" He's not. Quite brazen, though, but now I find out that shoes, socks and the legs of suits are important communicators of sexual orientation. Having Irritable Bowel Syndrome, means that I spend, twice as much time in the crapper as regular folks. But the pain which accompanies the sessions would find shoes in my stalls, stomped or reduced to toilet floaters, not worth wearing afterward. IBS often brings out the worst in those who bother the sufferer. Communicate with much caution. So, anyone, a hint on that book? - Dale
