Well, guess he's not going to be CoM/CoS much longer.

Time for a management job or retirement. Sadly, it doesn't stop with him. There will be others and this current admin. just doesn't get it. Truly the most detached of any government I've been able to witness. I'm sure there are others, but damn. And this is coming from a person that has seen first hand the heinous idiosyncrasies of the Hussein Family (Daddy, and his two sons) to the national to village politics of the Afghan mess.

It's ok though, another round of golf and shopping courtesy of the "privileged" section of America.

Must have been the fault of the dip shit that put it on the teleprompter. Oh well, off to the golf course or another vacation? All we need now is some stupid statement by John McCain, Harry Ried or Little Petey King.

Well, he did campaign for more 'transparency' in government - I guess some of his minions took that one literally.

I'm waiting for the media outrage, a special prosecutor to be appointed, and the Hollywood movie...


... but I won't be holding my breath.

It could be a series - "25 and half hours" because 24-hours just isn't enough time to cover all the lapses of judgement in one administration.

Didn't Scooter Libby actually get sentenced to prison for outing Valerie Plame, who was no longer operational and lived in VA., not Afghanistan? She was mentioned in the article, but what happened to Libby was not. Bush did commute his prison time, but he was fined and did community service .

Yes, even though it was Richard Armitage who actually "leaked" her name in the first place.
