White House aides are shaking their heads in disbelief over chief of staff Andy Card's loose talk in the new issue of Esquire. Card, who also worked for President Bush the Elder, has a reputation for keeping mum. But in a story about the departure of George W. Bush counselor Karen Hughes, Andy shows his cards.

"Listen, the President is in a state of denial about what Karen's departure will mean, so is the First Lady, and so is Karen herself," he tells writer Ron Suskind.

"The whole balance of the place, the balance of what has worked up to now for George Bush, is gone, simply gone," Card says. "She's leaving when the President has one of the highest approval ratings on record. From here, it can only go down. And when it does, you know who they're going to blame? They're gonna blame Andy Card."

No word yet on how Bush himself has reacted to Card's frank talk, but a senior Bush adviser declared: "Ho-ly [bleep]! Andy is Mr. Cautious. What the hell was he thinking?" NY Daily News

I don't know, but I think the comment about get blamed for declining "ratings" was tongue-in-cheek.

Hi everyone. Is anyone going to start a new thread today? I hope so. I just got in from washing my car. Whew it's hot today. The grandkids are in the swimming pool.

Hey, it seems the Perv is not using UNION workers to build his LIE-bury in Ark. I thought he was all for the UNIONS? What a phoney liar!

You are spot on with your assessment of the President.
The Bible says that all things work together for good, for those people who love the Lord, and are called according to his purpose.

I believe that our President is exactly where he is supposed to be, even though he would rather be with his wife and family and friends in Crawford, Texas.
