White House Chief of Staff Card Resigns

President Bush announced the resignation of White House chief of staff Andy Card on Wednesday and replaced him with budget director Joshua Bolten, saying "the next three years will demand much of those who serve our country."

"We have a global war to fight and win," Bush said. "I'm honored to have served with Andy Card. I have great confidence in my next White House chief of staff." "I'm deeply honored now by the opportunity to succeed Andy Card as White House chief of staff," Bolton said. "I said succeed Andy Card, not replace him, because he cannot be replaced."

However, Joshua Bolton hardly got off to a great start saying to Bush, "I've watched as you have kept your oath to preserve and protect the Constitution."

Sorry?! Is this the same President that said, “Stop throwing the Constitution in my face, it’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

Not that Bush was being any more honest himself. Talking of how hard working his staff are Bush said, We've dealt with war.

That'll be the war that's still ongoing with no victory in sight?

We've dealt with recession.

Yep, managed to land the US in one.

We've dealt with scandal.

Ha ha ha. He's too much.

We've dealt with Katrina.

The guy should do standup. He's simply too funny. Too detached from reality. If leaving the citizens of New Orleans stranded for five days without access to food and water, with no ability to bury their dead, is Bush's idea of how that situation should have been dealt with, he should resign.
