Rearranging the Deck Chairs

White House chief of staff Andy Card has resigned and will be replaced by budget director Josh Bolten, an administration official said Tuesday.

Funny. The story briefly adds that:

The move comes amid a sharp decline in Bush's approval ratings and calls from Republicans for the president to bring in new aides with fresh ideas and new energy.

Typical Bush Administration. I don't know what Card's popularity is with the general population, probably most folks don't really know who he is, but he's not what is dragging Bush's approval ratings down. So keep the people who are (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rove) and get rid of Card. Make sense to you?

It does if they want to "appear" like they're shaking things up without actually changing any policy.

EB (www):
Bolten is supposedly the person who is being tasked with making the rest of the cuts. So, actually, it does make sense if seen as the first of several steps.

Scott McClellan, we hardly knew ye.
