Things change, and stay the same
It's hard work! Heh heh
[The resolute Decider-in-Chief] wants to show the nation he's shaking things up in his misadministration, but it is clear that the people who fucked everything up will remain in place. The press secretary goes; that sneaky fuck Rove is losing half his portfolio. There's a new White House chief of staff. But the neocon nincompoops at the Defense Department are still on the job, doing ... whatever the hell they've been doing.
Metaphors about rats and deck chairs abound.
The sudden exit of hapless WH spokes-tool Scott McClellan would be meaningless under normal circumstances. But in the current context, it really does send an important message. The straight-talkin' president is like one of those people who pretend to apologize by saying they're sorry if they were misunderstood. He doesn't believe he's done anything wrong. It's our fault for not appreciating him.
Blame the victim.
