In actual news

Scott McClellan and Karl Rove will be vacating their respective positions in Bush's cabinet.  No replacement has been named for Scott yet, and while Karl Rove won't be on policy development, he will remain active in long term strategic planning and electoral planning, as a seinor advisor.

All I can picture is Scott McClellan sitting at home, alternatingly brushing his teeth and rinsing with whiskey, saying to himself "Praise Jesus I don't have to spew any more lies, and never have to speak to another reporter AGAIN."

I'm surprised Ari Fleicher did it as long as he did.

I just read up on Ari's stint as press secretary. He's made some bone head moves, that's for sure. I can remember hearing Scott soooo many times, sounding like a complete ass, but also sounding a little bit like "omg why do I have to SAY all these things can't I go home and start drinking now?"

Have you seen the article floating around about historians actually wanting to officially declare GW to be the 'Worst President in History'? Is it any wonder that suddenly his staff are running in terror?

It was a Rolling Stones article I believe, I read it through from top to bottom. The case that make for his title is staggering and painful, and he still has two more years to go. You can take the title George, I have faith in you!

Blech. Do we really have to wait out the next two years?

Well, if the ball ever gets rolling on those impeachment hearings...

A sudden large shift in power after the elections this fall could be the start of something good!
