From the desk of George W. Bush & Co.:
The public is closing in on us; it's best you leave now before you are asked to be deposed by congress. Remember, I kept Karl Rove safe so far. Good luck and good bye.

K St. beckons to another great white whale.

A RAT leaves one sinking ship and boards another...and the beat goes on.

Just one more Bush loyalist more concerned with serving up propaganda victories for al-Qaeda than in upholding or defending the Constitution or the American public.
Hopefully his next stint on the government payroll will be as a UNICOR factory employee.

Another member of the fat, balding, double-chin Neo-Con club takes a hike! Big revelation, there! Like the typical rat off a sinking ship, he will put as much space as he can between reality and a criminal indictment!

[08POL]

He should write a book!

Ooops SWIM

[Rosanneofpgh]

The rats are deserting the sinking ship. lol Can rats swin??

[craneman]

Damn right rats can swim---look at the number that ended up on Fox Noise !!

[wagadog]

They better learn to thwim because they certainly can't think for themselves.

What will he do, think, say, now that his neocon overlords are not programming him any more?

[glaze]

I just re-read that headline- It doesn't take a lot of imagination to turn the whole thing into a newly created government job, one that this administration sorely needs: A person whose job it is to be Deputy Chief of all those quitting staff members.
Busy, busy, busy...

[findingthetruth]

Are you implying that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagin knows his position is TOAST ---- so he's leaving now?

[luvobama]

Oh goody. Maybe we'll have another tell-all book.

[tandrmcdonald]

The phrase "Rats leaving a sinking ship." comes to mind. On the morning of the day GWB actually leaves the White House, he'll be down in the kitchen making his own breakfast.

[wagadog]

Nah. He'll already be back in Crawford taking a nap.

He's just hoping the last one out doesn't forget to shut the door and turn out the lights.

[marymansour]

They seem to be joining McDumb's campaign crowd. Go, go stupid.

[SouthpawSass]

Well, those still on that sinking ship don't have to bother jumping off... The water is already up to their ankles. Just walk off fellas. The row boat is coming to get you.

Non-Issue Clinton replaced his whole cabinet.

You seem to have a real problem with the "apples and oranges" concept dude, I've noticed it in your past postings.
