My Government's Spring Cleaning

Why is this man smiling so much? His life just got alot easier.

No more waking up every morning only to learn what he had to try to cover up that day.

A room full of people tired of feeling like they have been lied to attacked him constantly.

The man, pictured here with the puppetmaster, is Scott McClellan, and he "resigned" today in a continuing shake up of the White House.

The question here is, Is he out merely because of his confrontational relationship with the White House Press Corp? Are the executive branch's messages no longer being heard?

If this is the problem, who will the president tab to take on this job? Who would take the job of standing up everyday and being thrown to the wolves for a lame-duck president, any lame-duck president, much less one with Bush's approval ratings?

It is a thankless job, but sooner or later someone will have to do it.
