Press conference at 1:45

Maybe Stephen Colbert is joining the staff as the new foreign policy speech writer.. or not. ;-)

Colbert wants DHS, and, besides, he's agreed to be on Mike Huckabee's presidential ticket in '08.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Huge announcement, and the first person Fox News turns to for analysis is that sleazy lying a-hole of a spin doctor Bob Beckel?

More proof of how clueless liberals are when they whine that Fox News is a Republican mouthpiece.

PORTER GOSS RESIGNS AS CIA CHIEF, A SENIOR BUSH ADMINISTRATOR SAYS

Is it me, or does it seem odd that a lot of WH personnel are resigning lately? I wonder what it means, if anything?

[pinz-n-needlez]

Good Lord!!!

Pinz

[prairiebreeze]

Oh yes.... UGH, is right!

[bonfire]

Yep. I don't like this either. Doesn't "feel" right.

[Petronski]

Very bad. Not good at all.

[mnehring]

What is up with all the conspiracy, maybe it was just family or personal issues or he was offered a better job elsewhere?

[woofie]

Move Bolton from UN to CIA...they will like that

[eyespysomething]

I wonder if it has anything to do with all the leaks?

I also have to wonder about who's gonna be the replacement?

[clawrence3]

Yep - she can stay. Next applicant?

[OXENinFLA]

The DUmp is having kittens

[MANO]

I THINK THEY DISCOVERED THAT HE WAS MD4BUSH

[kabar]

I hope it has nothing to do with McCarthy.

"Good, too many leaks, too many lib dems working there"

Sure, but the $30 billion question is whether any more will be done about that with a new Director. I'd thought/hoped that Goss was supposed to be cleaning house behind the scenes, but I can't imagine that he's anywhere near the end of that task, if he was even as devoted to it as many of us hoped. Now the appointment of a new Director does give Pres. Bush the chance to shake things up in a good way, but I'm not at all optimistic that we can count on that happening. Did the CIA mafia force Goss out, or did he just wear out in a grueling and thankless job, or what???? Sure would like to know what this really means!!

[WOSG]

Grrrr. Snow has done a GOOD JOB (see Don Luskin column on him). Rumsfeld has done a GOOD JOB. It would be a travesty to get rid of either of them.

Here's what we need:
- Norm Minetta out. Gordon Gekko in.
- Meg Spellings out. Bill Bennett in.
- Tom Tancredo heading up INS enforcement division.
(oops, hijack alert!)
etc.

[Howlin]

Blood in the water for sure.

[bonfire]

Resigning or asked to leave? I'd like to know the real dirt. Then again, maybe not!

[mnehring]

Actually, they just make more news under President Bush. Compared to previous recent administrations, this has been a pretty stable administration staff wise.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Signifies this is a shock to the President (IMHO)
