Dan Bartlett: cut-and-run surrendermonkey, obnoxious asshole. And liar. Don't forget liar. Via Blah3:
Having previously said he was leaving the White House to spend more time with his young children, Bartlett offered a more candid assessment of the reasons for his exit.
"President Bush has a 34 percent approval rating," he said. "Our party's been rocked by another sexual scandal. Americans believe, about 69 percent of them believe that we're on the wrong track. We've got this housing market cratering on us, it's threatening the entire economy. So I had a choice to make. Do I stick by my old man, President Bush and weather out the storm, or do I join the private sector and re-acquaint myself with my family, maybe give a speech or two?"
The former White House aide, who earlier this year called his decision to leave the president a "struggle," admitted to the crowd that "I thought that was a pretty easy decision."
