Behind the scenes, first lady Laura Bush is making big changes for the next four years.
In the past two months, Mrs. Bush has hired a new social secretary and chief of staff -- and fired chef Walter Scheib III, who had been at the White House for 11 years.
"We don't usually think of Laura Bush as firing anybody," said Ann Gerhart, a political reporter for The Washington Post's style section. "She is just as loyal as everybody else in the Bush family. So I think it's very unusual."

should have cleaned everything Klinton out of the house 5 years ago
I can't wait to hear about the chef's new book when appears for the full hour on 60 Minutes.
Laura, may I recommend Mario Batali. Yeah, he's a lib, but he is an OUTSTANDING chef.
What? CNN is just throwing stones at the Bush family.
Chef Scheib himself said he wanted to leave, and issued a statement saying so. CNN is doing in print and deed what they blame bloggers for---spreading rumors.
I'm so happy that Sally Quinn knows exactly what the First Lady is thinking. /sarcasm
Love your tagline - I'm going to partake of all three this very evening, however not in that order
Dumping the Clinton's chef was long overdue. Look what he did for Slick Willie!
Laura was extremely patient. If a chef wasn't fixing what I liked after two weeks of explaining it to him, he'd be gone.
And I love your screen name. I suddenly have a hankering for a Lucky Dog. ;-)
That man???????????????????
Well, I wouldn't worry about Walter being able to find a new job. Having "White House Chef" on the resume would seem to be a ticket to most anywhere he wants to go!
Yep, the Chef was great on Grits, Hamburgers, French Fries and Deep Fried Tyson Chickens.........a holdover from the days of Bubba....
One quadruple bypass comin' up!
didn't Chelsea asked him to cater her wedding (or cake).
Yep, Bubba would be a great Celebrity advertiser for the McDonalds Heart Healthy Menu of Products.

Pray for W and Our Amazing Troops
I actually encountered Mario Batali sitting on the stoop of his townhouse. Pretty cool guy.
