31 Aug 07 No More Snow.

So Snow-job officially announced that he would be resigning as White House Press Secretary on September 14th. According to the AP story:

Snow, ailing with cancer, had said recently he would leave before the end of Bush’s presidency. The father of three children, Snow said he needs to make more than his White House salary of $168,000. He could earn far more money on the speechmaking circuit.

The 52-year-old Snow was a conservative pundit and syndicated talk-show host on Fox News Radio before he was named press secretary on April 26, 2006. He is the latest in a string of White House officials to head for the exits.

Something just seems rotten about that. You’d think Bush Co. would make him an offer or at least take care of their own. I guess that goes to show that it doesn’t matter who is in the position as long as they are loyal to the Bush regime and are willing to be the target of daggers and spears.

That’s three press secretaries the Bush Administration has gone through; Ari Fleischer, Scott McClellan and now Tony Snow. Let’s see if replacement Dana Perino can go the distance. She’s only 35-years old, but I bet by December 2008 she is going to look 135.

27 Aug 07 Hail Dorothy…

…the wicked witch is dead. Alberto Gonzales resigns under a cloud of controversy and investigation. Funny how they constantly asserted that he would not resign, right before he resigned. Even though he is resigning, I guarantee Bush Co. will stand by their position that he did nothing wrong during the attorney firings and/or the Ashcroft hospital ambush.

Let’s see how long it will take them to say: “Mr. Gonzales just wants to spend more time with his family.”

Yeah, he’d better spend some time with them because he may not get to see them for 10-20. So long Gonzo, and thanks for all of the memories, or lack thereof.
