Actually a deer in headlights looks kind of scary.

Andy Card has resigned.
KAREN HUGHES!?!?!?
She needs to be OUT of the administration, period.
God bless Andy Card. I'm thankful for the service of this good and decent man to our country and to our president.

Card's Departure
Posted by H-Bomb on Tuesday, 28 March 2006 (08:40:08) EST
My sources tell me that White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card's resignation has almost nothing to do with a "staff shakeup," as the AP has reported.
The "staff shakeup" meme plays into the MSM's obsession with the president's "slumping poll numbers" -- which they all too gaily report -- but does not really add up. Card served as a traditional CoS; an administrator, not a policy or political guy, and for all the shortcomings of this White House, staff administration has never really been one of them.
Rather, I have been told by Washington insiders that Card is leaving to play a significant role in the presidential campaign of Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. This announcement will not be made for several months; perhaps not until after the 2006 election, but many of Card's associates have already been working for Romney behind the scenes
GodSpeed Andrew Card. Thanks for a job well done, especially Election 2004.
{Yawn...}
Every president since 1963 has had approval ratings at one time or another that were lower than Bush's current rating. Those ratings include Lyndon Johnson's 35%, Richard Nixon's 24%, Gerald Ford's 37%, Jimmy Carter's 28%, Ronald Reagan's 35%, the elder George Bush's 29% and Bill Clinton's 37%.
Quick! Get this woman a double latte!
I'm gonna remember this day!
That was the first inkling that there might be changes in the White House staff.
Anyone know who will be replacing Bolton?
Funniest FR commentary I've seen in a month of Sundays!

Sorry to disappoint you. I heard it on FNC and when they finished their reportage I moved on to MSNBC and McCord was just reading the AP report.
Bet you're feeling better already:)
Will be sad to see him go
Where in God's name did they find 28% of Americans who would have said they approved of Jimmy Carter during the 1970's?
Speaking of raving nutters! (no offense to present company).
The Bush Administration
Josh Bolten
DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
(2003 -present)
Corporate Connections:
Goldman Sachs
As President Bush’s deputy chief of staff, Josh Bolten was originally slotted to handle much of the president’s domestic policy agenda. However, the administration soured on Larry Lindsay’s performance as head of the National Economic Council, Bolten gradually took over. He began dealing with all economic matters, and Bush came to depend on him for honing ideas for the president’s consideration. Once Mitch Daniels, former head of the Office of Management and Budget, resigned in late 2002, Bolten was quickly targeted to filled the slot. Credited as the architect of the Bush tax cuts as well as the hiring of Steve Friedman as NEC chairman, Bolten has become one of Bush’s closest advisors next to Karl Rove. Like Friedman and Robert Rubin, the former Treasury Secretary under President Clinton, Bolten worked at Goldman Sachs, one of the all-time biggest campaign contributors.
