He "personally" doesn't want to get his ass thrown in jail for following the Monkey in Chiefs orders.

Those personal reasons?

"I personally can't persuade this administration that starting a land war in Asia is a really bad idea. I mean, if he won't listen to Vizzini, he sure as fark won't listen to me..."

Doesn't Bush need to spend more time wih his family?
Please!

Gotta love the Bush Crime Family Administration™

ahh yes, the Bush administration, to paraphrase the great Molly Ivins, half of it is under average. The other half is under indictment.

They probably don't want to spend time around him any more than we do.

If there is a theme I've learned from the last 8 years with this it is.

"Working or Serving under President Bush Jr. is career suicide or a one big delayed trip to the Big House."

No ...they don't approve of his Saudi boy friend!

One F Jef: He "personally" doesn't want to get his ass thrown in jail for following the Monkey in Chiefs orders.

No. He's using Tom Ridge's type of "personal reasons":

"Nicholas Burns, undersecretary of state, is retiring after 25 years of service to join the private sector."

At least he's being honest about that.

What, what does this have to do with my irrational liberal yammering? You shut your sane mouth when crazies are talking.

Just think, the history books can call this 'The Era of Personal Reasons'.

Is he gonna start up a new career as the company computer guy?

You've got to wonder, is he going into the private sector because he wants the cash, or because working under Bush's foreign policies for 7 years has crushed his spirit?

This was a career guy, not a Bushie.

Great Caesar's Toast: Is he gonna start up a new career as the company computer guy?

In charge of backups?

Assuming he left because he refused to tow the Bush line about needing to invade Iran, when will the invasion start?

/What are the chances that a 23 year old will be drafted? I hear they choose the 18, 19, 20 year olds first.

State was the bulwark against Cheney and his Pentagon people pushing for regime change in Iran. Losing Burns doesn't mean we will strike Iran, but it does mean Condi will lose even more influence in such discussions.

themindiswatching: tow the Bush line

Molly Ivins purely RAWKED! Quatchi misses that gal sommat fierce.

Bush DID say when first elected that the GOPhers were the "party of convictions".

He fergot to mention the commutations and pardons.

On Topic?

As the SS BushCo sinks slowly into the west yet another rat is flee the vessel. Will Dumbya go down with the ship alone or will Gannon go down with him?
