Press conference at 1:45
Folks who keep relating immigration with other issues actually reminds me of Cynthia McKinney or Charlie Rangel who loves to say, "everything is racial issue!"
Yes...wonder who'll replace him...
This country is screwed, short of Bolton moving over from the UN.

Thanks for the tip--going there now to see what he has to say!
Yikes.
Hats off to Tony Snow for managing this story. The story was reported only moments before the taped announcement by President Bush. Don't you know his beeper has been going off like crazy the last hour with network reporters begging him for the inside scoop.....
Who is macRanger?
WH feed, via MSNBC
Bush: (Porter) tenure at CIA was one of transition, plan to increase number of operatives, instill sense of professionalism.
[No indication why he is resigning.]
Goss: thanking President for opportunity to serve, improved intelligence capabilities, safer for leadership and efforts (of Bush).
My thoughts exactly.
Everyone was told that if they plan to leave any time soon, to leave now, rather than wait around.
No
macRanger??
When you nail someone in the IG, it really affects the institution
Goss resigned do to the Administrations inaction on...... ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION!
LISTER: What is he capable of?
On the wall behind them is a glass-fronted fire cabinet containing a large axe. The lock on the cabinet flips open.
KRYTEN: Well, we've seen hex vision. Almost certainly, like Lanstrom, he'll be capable of telepathy and possibly even telekinesis.
CAT: Tele-kiny-what-a-noose?
The glass cover of the cabinet swings open. The axe begins to twitch.
KRYTEN: The ability to move objects purely by the power of the mind.
The axe flies from the cabinet, narrowly missing CAT and LISTER and slamming into KRYTEN's back.
LISTER: Kryten, man, are you OK?
KRYTEN: I have a medium-sized fire axe buried in my spinal column. That sort of thing can really put a crimp on your day.
LISTER pulls the fire axe out of KRYTEN's spine, at which point it is yanked from his hands and thrown across the room. KRYTEN starts twitching, and is pulled to a nearby pillar, talking nonsense as he goes.
KRYTEN: Hihi-hidi-hidi-whurdidjid. Two and one-half badgers, please! Hi-yi-yi-yi-yi! (He bashes his head against the pillar.) No, I'll eat them here. Whap! An-dingling! Wha-hoo-hoo! An-da-an-shoo-an-shoo. (He head-butts the pillar again.) Ah, that's better. Maybe now I can WIN SELF-DETERMINATION FOR THE SOUTH MOLDAVIAN PEOPLE! Nick-noo-nick-noo-nick-ank (Once again, he assaults the pillar with his head.) Ah, I think I'm OK now.
Well if we take it at face value, it is sounding like the house cleaning is over. Perhaps looking for a new CIA head with a different skills set?
Or maybe it has to do with something completely different.
That's ok. People have posted about ten or twenty stories about this already.
What the heck? What is the back channel story here? I thought Porter Goss was cleaning up the mess?
Was Goss in over his head and Bush wants someone who will really crack some heads?
