WTF Is It Now?!?

"A demotion is not enough"

This morning, pasty scumhole Karl Rove was demoted and forced to give up "oversight of policy development" in the White House. This news comes on the heels of White House proclamations of major staff reshuffling that have led to new faces in the West Wing, but no changes to the President's failed policies.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement:

"After having his hand in nearly every bad Bush policy decision and nearly every scandal that has consumed the Bush White House, it is not surprising that Karl Rove was demoted this morning. But a demotion is not enough. From the collapse of the President's scheme to privatize social security to Rove's involvement in the outing of a covert CIA agent's identity while he still holds a security clearance, the President has abundant reason to fire Karl Rove.

"The Bush White House is merely engaging in window dressing. President Bush doesn't seem to understand that you can't just change the window dressing, you have to make changes in the Bush Administration's policies which have undermined America's security - from the economy to health care, our families and the war in Iraq."

Theaetetus writes: "Ah, all the good shakeups happening in the misadministration... Let's see, there's Andrew Card, the guy who organizes the President's schedule, answers his mail, and sets the menu for lunch... and Scott McClellan, the guy who talks to the press for the President.

"This is a shake-up? Who's next, Claire Taplett, the Deputy Director of the Gift Unit? Brian Cossiboom, the Executive Assistant to the Assistant to the President for Presidential Personnel (real title)? John Currin, the Director of Fact Checking? Oh, wait, he left a long time ago."
