Scotty, We Hardly Knew Ye

The much anticipated staff shakeup continues in the White House. Scott McClellan is gone and Karl Rove's role is shifting in some vaguely-defined way. I'm sorry to see Scotty go; he was so bad, it was always entertaining. The deer-in-the-headlights look, the petulance, the flop sweat--all of it priceless. He was like a bad high school debater, always angrily refusing to give an inch even when caught in an obvious lie or contradiction. Ever the dynamic Decider-In-Chief, the President has already named his new press secretary.
