Andy Card is goners. He resigned today. Maybe he was tired of all the shit he had to deal with on a daily basis. I imagine keeping up with Karl’s latest evil scheme or making sure the president doesn’t do anything really stupid, or keeping Dick Cheney from shooting anyone else can weary a man. Or maybe he humped a school buss full of nuns, and now needs to “spend more time with his family.” Really its anyones guess. So you say to yourself “ohh well now he can bring in some fresh blood, someone new, someone with different ideas, someone to help them out.” You then realize that this is the Bush co. administration we are dealing with now and see that he has picked Josh Bolton another “yes” man. Expect more of the same, and by more of the same I mean its going to get worse and worse and worse….
