Man, is there just no end to my good luck? First my team takes over, then Rummy leaves, and now Mr. Broomstache is also going away. Bye, John. We'll miss your ill-tempered comments and inability to get along with everyone.
But I think the far more interesting part of it is that the White House is now saying it's not a resignation. This administration has always understood the value of framing, a careful choice of the words we use to describe something. Partial-birth abortion is one such carefully framed term, Social Security reform is another. In the words are the view they want you to take, and if you say them long enough, you'll think it soon enough.
The interesting part is not that they're still recognizing the impact of the word choice itself. It's that they so clearly don't have the upper hand on it.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign...
