A "Shake-Up" requires more than one departure IMHO

[texpatriot2004]

This "shake-up" line of bull is ridiculous. If, on the other hand, Rove, Hadley, and Card were to "resign" in order to "be with their family" then that would be a "shake-up" this, this is NOT a "shake-up" - IMHO.

Language matters, you know.

1. LOL! I had the same reaction when I saw that description.

I started looking for the other resignations. This is more of the same drainage.

2. And - requires more than the "crony shuffle"

Which is exactly what this is. Josh Bolten is one of the boys; he's been with Bush since he ran for governor in Texas.

4. That's a good point you have, the crony shuffle nm

5. LOL, Crony Shuffle! n/t

3. The timing is interesting though......

Why now? He could of done it months ago....

7. Because some Republicans started screaming for change

He's embarrassed them enough to get them to scream.

6. It's show only

Like just about everything else they do. It's like trying to get rid of a massive termite infestation by slapping a coat of paint on the house.

8. Card leaving is NO "shake-up" he's leaving because he has to

Card's in trouble and so is this Administration

9. the personnel change is subterfuge

to distract the media from yet another revealing memo released.

Too bad another blonde isn't missing.

10. He was the guy they sent out for Cheeseburgers!

It was in the Woodward book. How is firing the guy you sent to get cheeseburgers for everyone else at a meeting a 'shake-up' of the staff?

That's like saying that you fired the waiter so now the restaurant is 'under new management.' I don't friggin think so.

11. Nice analogy you have there nm

[SharonAnn]

12. Chief of Staff? That's insignificant. Secretary of State or War, maybe.

[texpatriot2004]

13. Nonetheless, it takes more than 1 resignation to be called a

"shake-up"
