Andy Card out as White House Chief of Staff, Joshua Bolten in.
Not nearly as much fun as the Donald Regan/Nancy Reagan smackdown, but you just know Rove is behind this somehow.
Fun fact:
To the public, Card may be best known as the aide who calmly walked into a Florida school room and whispered into Bush’s ear that America was under attack on Sept. 11, 2001. He was known for keeping his cool under pressure. When Bush’s father, then President George H.W. Bush, got sick at a banquet in Tokyo, aides and security officials ran toward the president. Card ran in the opposite direction, out the door to make sure the motorcade was ready to rush Bush away.
Does anyone remember the clip on Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update showing the monkey that someone in Japan had dressed up in a suit and trained to fall over on the command, “Bush-san”?

Actually, the word I am hearing is that he left to become more active in the Romney for pres campaign.
Ha!
Good luck with that one!
Well you can think what you want zuzu, but Bush is known for being loyal to a fault.
The Ha! was for the success of the Romney campaign. All any of his primary opponents have to do is point out that same sex marriage became legal on his watch, and there he goes.
But I think you’re wrong about Bush — he, himself, doesn’t have a reputation for loyalty. He demands it of his people, and he punishes those who criticize him or who outlive their usefulness. Look at Paul O’Neill.

Ah, ok. My bad.
