*snip*
This is how Card described his job in an interview with Neal Boortz of Atlanta's WSB-AM750 (Boortz is a nationally-syndicated libertarian):

"My day starts very early. I get to the office between 5:30 and quarter of six in the morning, I greet the president when he shows up in the Oval Office, I say 'Good morning, Mr. President, can I have your homework?' And I kind of correct it. Or he corrects mine."

Card also said that one of the hardest parts of his job is scheduling.

"There are only 24 hours in a day. The president has to have time to eat, sleep and be merry, or he'll make angry, grumpy decisions. So I have to make sure he has time to eat, sleep and be merry.

it's like they're dealing with a child here, not the leader of the most powerful country in the world. not really a surpise though.
what a chump.

1. Is this for real or from the Onion? n/t

2. Boy, Poppy and Bar are sure lucky to have such

a devoted bunch of sitters, aren't they. We wouldn't want Junior to actually have to do something on his own now, would we?

3. Could "Be Merry" be code for

his daily fifth of scotch? His Oxycontin fix? Maybe Card is just giving him a quickie hand job.

Then again, shrubster's simple brain is fascinated by shiny things, might be simple as that.

4. Andy Card is Bush's MANSERVANT/VALET.

The Bushes think they are royalty. It's sickening.

[Bridget Burke]

5. Like Prince Charles's Manservant/Valet?

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

6. Yes.

Basically a personal slave.

I just realized today that Card is not on the same level as Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, etc. He's just a servant. Poor guy.
