"Rearranging deck chairs on The Titanic", Schumer re: Bolton replacing Card

[npincus]

Just heard that quote on CNN- I thought it was funny (and succinct).

1. I'd LOVE to see that happen

he'd be more of a negative to the fuckheads in the WH

he'd just screw things up more there, on a wider scale

PLEASE let that happen

nothing better than a raving, psychotic incompetent to be running the show behind the scenes

this is fantastic news!

3. As I called it earlier, "the crony shuffle"

Bolten's got a long history with the Chump and Rove:

"For the last 15 years, the man whom George W. Bush has nicknamed "Yosh" has spent most of his waking hours working for presidents named Bush. During the administration of the first President George Bush, Bolten served for three years as General Counsel to the U.S. Trade Representative and one year as a White House lobbyist—a.k.a. Deputy Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs. He spent two years as Policy Director of George W. Bush's campaign for president before joining the administration, where he's had two jobs. Initially, Bolten was Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and since June 2003 he's been OMB Director. For the five years in between—1994 to 1999—Goldman Sachs International in London employed him as Executive Director, Legal & Government Affairs."
