STARTLING PHOTO RELEASED OF BUSH TERMINATING ROVE

WASHINGTON -- Moments after announcing his resignation from the White House staff, long-time Bush advisor Carl Rove was fatally stabbed by the president as he left the briefing. The president expressed concerns that Rove might be called to testify in several of the ongoing probes of his administration and said the stabbing "clearly falls within the limits of executive privilege." As he lay dying, Rove agreed with the president's rationale.
