Press Secretary Scott McClellen is resigning and Karl Rove is apparently no longer going to be in charge of policy development. Personally I'll believe that Rove isn't dictating policy when Bush is out of office and not one second before. Everytime I see Bush speak I get the mental image of that scene in Chicago where Richard Gere is talking for a puppet style Renee Zellweger at a press conference. Rove with his Bush puppet on lap, it's an indelible image. Actually I could just envision the White House press corps getting up and enthusiastically singing "Oh yes, Oh yes, Saddam reached for the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, reached for the Bomb."

So how does this group send out the want ad for Press Secretary? It'll be in the Wall Street Journal no doubt:
WANTED: Public Relations professional to fill press position for influential organization based in Washington D.C. Must have dissociative condition that enables them to believe the Iraq War was necessary, energy companies have consumer's best interests at heart when setting gas prices, and cutting the taxes of millionaires will stimulate the economy. Must NOT have any connection to Jack Abramoff, and must be able to ignore connections others might have to him. Military opinions strongly encouraged, though actual military service not required. Independent thinkers, moral compass holders, minorities, and separation of powers enthusiasts need not apply. No experience necessary, membership to Skull & Bones a plus.

This is how many times I've told the truth in 3 years.
