MSNBC Breaking News ^ | March 28, 2006 | MSNBC

[Arkinsaw]

Andy Card has resigned.

[mosquitobite]

Are the ones who want to see Karen Hughes move up only wanting so because she has a pretty face? *ugh*

[EternalVigilance]

IMO, it's almost a tossup which job is harder...President or CoS.

I guess POTUS, though...because in the end the judgment of history falls on you.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Yes, why would Bush want to keep around a loser like John Ashcroft?

(Implied sarcasm)

[Liberty Valance]

He said AP was calling it a White House Shake-up.

Keyword: crAP ;o) AP trying to insert themselves in the political process yet again.

[Valin]

Some people expect prefection from politicians...needless to say they are doomed to be disappionted.

[EternalVigilance]

He said AP was calling it a White House Shake-up.

Fox News just did the same thing thirty seconds ago.

[OPS4]

I am waiting for him to show up here.
Ops4 God Bless America!

[muawiyah]

Under what names?

[GVnana]

It's a miracle he stayed alive in that job for nearly six years. He's hinted before that he wanted to retire. Well done, Mr. Card. You've earned your rest.

[AmericaUnite]

I am laughing so hard. How did you animate this?

[Proudcongal]

I said an attractive Karen Hughes "type", you know, a combination (attractive + K.H. type).

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

No kidding.

After graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, where he was president of the Sigma Phi Epsilon Texas Alpha Chapter, McClellan was the three-time campaign manager for his mother, Texas comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn.

Well, if that isn't a resume to be proud of, I don't know what is.

I mean, Sigma Phi Epsilon and his mother's campaign manager...

Does it get more accomplished than that?

*eye roll*

Seriously, when is this dope going to follow that Bay State bungler and Rockefeller Republican out the door?

[RockinRight]

LMAO!!

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Let him do press conferences for his mother's campaign.

That should jump-start the campaign!

Unfortunately, it will be Kinky Friedman's campaign, not hers.

:-)

[OldFriend]

With Barnes so willing to carry McCain's idiotic trashing of Rumsfeld and suggesting LIEberman should be Defense Secretary.......it's hard to take him seriously.

[adam_az]

"Thank-You so Very Much, Mr. Card for All of Your service & assistance towards our President in making decisions & carrying on today's missions against our enemies."

That's a joke, right? Our enemies, especially on the other side of the isle, will miss him.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

To be replaced by people who will actually do something about illegal immigration.

In the Bush administration?

LOL.

That'll be the day.

[leadpenny]

At least it hasn't been called a purge yet.

If someone else declares they need to spend more time with their family this week, they probably will.

[ohioWfan]

It's about time.....Meirs nomination, Katrina fiasco, Bush visit to S.America, lousy poll numbers. Let's hope the new guy will help the President.

Any time anyone uses the words 'Katrina fiasco' and 'lousy poll numbers' in the same sentence, one's mind immediately leaps to "leftist infiltrator" or "really ignorant."

Is either correct with you, Ken? Because, unless you're kidding and forgot to mention it, that was a really dumb post....

[twigs]

I like a lot of people with whom I do not entirely agree. I take Fred Barnes very seriously, but that does not mean that I agree with him on everything.
