The Way He Should Have Gone

So, he's been referred to as "Bush's Brain". I knew that it was somewhere other than where it should've been. Karl Rove resigns...

I know that this is old news, but I've been lamenting his easy way out.

Why couldn't he have gone the way of the guy in the below video?? WHY??? WHY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD???

I can still hope, no?
