And in "BWAHAHA" news, "Bush on edge and unhappy about WH staff changes"


Huffington Post lead story: "Republicans Say Bush Unhappy And On Edge About White House Staff Changes..."

The article:

Bush Counsel May Be Next in Shake-Up

By ELISABETH BUMILLER and JIM RUTENBERG
Published: April 21, 2006

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/21/washington/21bush.html

WASHINGTON, April 20 — Joshua B. Bolten, the new White House chief of staff, has raised the possibility of moving Harriet E. Miers from her job as President Bush's counsel as part of a continuing shake-up of the West Wing, an influential Republican with close ties to Mr. Bolten said Thursday.

The Republican, who was granted anonymity to talk openly about sensitive internal White House deliberations, said that Mr. Bolten had floated the idea among confidants, but that it was unclear whether he would follow through or if the move would be acceptable to Mr. Bush, who has a longtime personal bond with Ms. Miers.

"It's a reflection of Josh's thinking," the Republican said. "It's not a prediction that he's going to get it done." A senior White House official denied that Mr. Bolten was considering such a step. "It's not the case," said the official, who was granted anonymity to get around the administration's policy of not commenting on personnel matters.

Moving Ms. Miers would be a strike at the heart of Mr. Bush's emotional bonds in the White House and would eliminate another Texan from the circle he has kept close to him in Washington. Republicans who talk regularly to senior West Wing advisers say the president has been unhappy and on edge about the staff changes that he nonetheless sees as necessary for revitalizing the West Wing.

2. This is one of the adults?
All his playmates have been sent home and he's unhappy. Might as well hop on AF 1 and uselessly burn up some gas while you're pouting.

4. Media Hokum!!
I think its just the latest MSM's attempt to "Natalee Holloway" the story by giving it a little drama. I don't think there's been any substantial change at all in the Bush administration, just Sycophantic Musical Chairs.
I think there's been no real change at all but the paid Bush staffers in the media want to pretnd there is so there looks like a change.

6. I think what he's really worried about
Is the investigation closing on Karl Rove.

George couldn't tie his shoelaces without Karl by his side

10. This is true but it also means the investigation is closer to him as well
If Karl goes this guy Josh Bolton may be running the country...Hey how about that the First Gay President by default!

9. One thing to remember about these "Changes"
These guys are linning up for November 2006 election. They know that if they loose either the Senate or the House the Bush regime is OVER! There will be one investigation after another! The Repubs will have to be dealing with the same play book the Dems had to deal with under Clinton.....tie him up and distract him day after day with one investigation after another.The difference this time however is that reall crimes will be exposed! All of Bushies friends will have to lawyer up and spend thousands upon thousands of doallars just to defend themselves. THEY ARE GOING TO PLAY VERY HARD BALL IN THIS ELECTION AND WE NEED TO RESPOND AGAINST ANY SWIFTING IMMEDIATLLY AND DECICIVELLY! We on the Dem side need to understand this and we have to keep kicking them while they are down. The prssure needs to be relentless because you know that Karl and his boys are in the cellar mixing up the whitches brew even as we speak!

14. The only thing shrub decides is which "jammies" he's going to
wear before Pickles tucks him in at night.

He probably fucks that up, too.
