A Change Is Gonna Come?

From the Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Signaling a possible shake-up among President Bush's senior advisers, the new White House chief of staff told top presidential aides Monday to expect changes that "refresh and re-energize the team." He invited anyone who is thinking of leaving before year's end to do so now.

Joshua Bolten, who took over the top staff job late Friday, did not ask for anyone's resignation in his first Monday morning staff meeting with the president's senior aides, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan said. No one stepped forward to say they would leave, either, McClellan said.

But Bolten has Bush's full authority to make changes to the president's staff, which has had a low turnover rate, with many aides serving him for years. Bolten already has had closed door meetings with some top advisers and plans more in the coming 10 days or so to talk about their roles going forward, McClellan said.

McClellan said Bolten told the aides to expect "some changes and adjustments"after he's gone through the process of talking to the staff.

They can shake-up the staff all they want to at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or tease the news media with stories of possible staff changes.

As long as Cheney and Bushie are running things, it's going to be the same old same old.

Washington, f-A-ke. P. - Today new White House chief of staff John Bolten announced, "I shall now proceed to rearrange the deck chairs."
 
Washington, f-A-ke. P. - After rearranging the deck chairs, new White House chief of staff Josh Bolten expects smooth sailing ahead.

Famous last words.
 
Washington, f-A-ke. P. - At 1:20 am this morning the Bu$hCo, purported to be the unsinkable ship of state, struck an iceberg in the shape of Iran and went down with all hands. The steamers Republican and Neoconican are searching for survivors.
 
Lemme guess - all first class passengers were saved, some second class passnegers made it, but only after swimming to life rafts that left half full, and nearly all of the third class passengers went down with the ship because they were too lazy to stay afloat in frigid water for six hours until the steamers Republican and Neoconican could pluck them out of the Artic ocean.
 
...and nearly all of the third class passengers went down with the ship because they were too lazy to stay afloat in frigid water for six hours...

Well actually it was because the third-class passengers neglected to invest in their Frigid Artic Waters Savings Accounts (FAWSA) generously offered to them aboard the Bu$hCo.

(And one wonders how long this can go on? :-) )
 
Now we know. :-) Thanks!
 
Thanks for the mention on blognonymous, kvatch.

I of course was riding steerage when the ship went down and had been unable to purchase a Frigid Artic Water Savings Account, so I've been treading water ever since.

And it's very cold...so cold...so cold...

Thanks for the mention on blognonymous, kvatch.

My pleasure. As you may have guessed, I get some of my best stuff from the ideas that I have responding to other posts in the Blogsphere. The good is that means that everybody I read gets a mention from time to time. The bad is that I think it means I'm not very original.
 
kvatch, the post you did the other day about Christo's border fence actually made me spit out coffee - the picture itself was the funniest.

And anyway, how many of us are REALLY original? I think most of the stuff I blog is a rehash of things I've read on the net, filtered through my own sensibilities surely, but not very original.

Besides I think being funny is more important than being original. And the Christo fence - that was funny!

Glad you enjoyed that one. It came to me in a flash while I was responding to something Jay Lassiter said on Lassiter Space about the controversy surrounding the building of border fences, generally.

So (pimping myself again). If you like the Christo thing you may enjoy this (course it helps to be a SciFi fan as well).
 
I knew it, kvatch! I knew it! Karl Rove's in charge and everything's going to be okay because he's in charge.

And then, Karl starts to take off the mask and, omigosh - it's actually Al Haig!!! Al Haig's Karl Rove!!! And he's in charge!!!

Just like he said he was, all those years ago.
