James Bond: I see Andy Card resigned this morning. FINALLY! President Bush, IMHO, really hurt himself by not encouraing staff turnover. Jobs in the White House are high stress, and I believe that turnover is necessary. Andy Card was one of, if not the, longest serving Chief of Staff. He seemed like a real nice guy, and I'm sure he was a good administrator, but you need fresh ideas and fresh motivation.

DFO: If only Dirk coulda held out for chief of staff ... (totally a gratuitous comment to get anti-Dirkster JB's goat)
