Really?
If he had just left when I asked him to, that wouldn't have been necessary.
He'll probably go to his dark cell at Clown Posse and make fun of us. Let him. Honor is a rare quality, and bashers never have it.
As for the photos......melancholy is a very good word for what I see as well, STARWISE. The sorrow in both men is palpable.
"Bittersweet" might be a good word too, for GWB and Andy Card. I'm sure Andy is burnt out and/or tired as heck, but must have mixed feelings about leaving. I'd bet GWB doesn't want him to go, really. In any case, he deserves a good rest and success in whatever he does next. God bless him and his family.
