Outgoing White House chief of Staff, Andy Card, has just placed a "kick me" sign on Pres. Bush's back. That explains why the new Chief of Staff, Josh Bolten looks amused.
Many have considered Card's resignation a sign that Bush and Co. have been taking public criticism to heart. Other's have been more reluctant to call it change, calling it a move similar to changing deck chairs on the Titanic. I happen to fall in this latter category. The Bush administration is about as big of a failure as the New York Knicks. You can add in Steve Francis, you can move around Frye, and add in Larry Brown, but all you still have is a losing team with better stats. Besides, the core of the administration; Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and Bush, are cemented into their positions and barring impeachment, that isn't going to change. Even Bush's own advisors have said that this move has in no way changed the President's view of what he calls the "chattering class," a group that includes the press and the Democrats, who don't focus on the "positives" of the Iraq situation. Then again it's hard to find the silver lining in Dog-poo and maybe people are still too burdened down by things like reason and their senses to have this ability that the gang of Bush possess in such copious amounts. Regardless, this move has done absolutely nothing to change my opinion of this administration. There was a song once that said, "you gotta love me or leave me alone." Well if Bush is singing a love song with his Card reshuffle, then I'm handing in my Dear John letter.
