Actually, I don't agree, Tec. I think that he's trying to go out on his own terms. If he gets forced to testify or caught up in a fight over testifying, the President might be forced to ask for his resignation. This gives him the ability to leave the field under his own power. At this stage in the game, he's finished anyway, at least until the 2012 cycle on the national level. It's entirely possible that he'll go back to local Texas politics, though.
I'm not a fan of the man, but you can't deny that he was very good at what he did, even if a lot of us would disagree with his goals.
