David Rodham Gergen. I wish he'd hack up that big booger that's hanging down the back of his throat and get it over with.
Fred is absolutely correct in this! Hope the White House listens
Just my useless opinion, but I say fire McClellan (just on principle) - he's a blubbering, bumbling fool and borderline moron. Probably the worst Press Secretary in history. And whomever recommended him for the job is undoubtedly on the DNC payroll.
I read similar pledge in US News, where Gergen serves as editor at large. I switched from Time to US News because I didn't want to give money to a magazine that is too much liberal. For a while, US News as okay. Now, I cancel my subscription. Internet provides enough good news and articles.
The Democrat Party would vastly improve its chances for the long term if it lanced and drained a fat, pus-filled boil on its body politic, a boil named Clinton (him and her). It is clear the Party will not follow this advice. But it would be good for that Party and for the nation, if it did so.

I'v often wondered what Rove's advice is about illegal immigration and the border.
Gergen works for the Democrats. The notion that he is non-partisan is pure eyewash.
That would at least distinguish his from his father's administration.
The only way to break throught the nedia filter is to go quite extreme, however, lest your battles be squelched by the monolithic Washington Press Corps. Bush needs a significantly more aggressive style.
Bush needs Rove to keep reminding him that neither the press nor the Washington establishment are his friends.
Pray for W and Our Troops
W needs to hire Dan Senor (of Iraq fame) to be his press person. He is AWESOME--brilliant, articulate, quick on his feet and fearless. He could take down the WH press corps in short order.
The MSM trot out Gergen all the time as a "Republican" balance on panel shows. What a load! He's now a Democrat.
You don't see them trotting out Democrats who've changed to Republicans and calling them Democrats.
Wouldn't you like to see Zell Miller on a panel as a Democrat representative?
I find David Gergen to be unsufferable to watch. I turn the channel everytime he shows up.
- Replace McClellan with Tony Snow
- Replace Rove with Peggy Noonan
- Replace Rumsfeld with Tommy Franks
- Replace Chertoff with Tom Tancredo and give him free reign
- Seal the borders and enforce immigration laws, then talk Guest Worker Program in a couple years
- cut spending 10% across the board and hold it there for 3 more years, demand Washington find savings/efficiency instead of asking for more
- Declare a national movement toward energy independence, 50% in 10 years and 100% in 20
- Get a Declaration of War from Congress, mobilize the country to win it and fight to win it globally
Be a President for your Base, Mr. President, and we'll be there for the Party in '06 and '08. As El Rushbo says, Conservatism wins everytime it's tried, but not when it's watered down.
If I were Bush, I would hire Gergen and Pat Buchanan. Don Corleone was right when he said," Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer". Reagan did, of course he knew there was more wisdom to be had in Hollywood film than, " Win one for the Gipper".
