It sounds more like they're jumping before they were pushed - Bush was widely expected to announce a reshuffle anyway. Over here people rarely quit from cabinet (though they're usually just moved into other cabinet positions anyway) but I guess that's how they do it in the US :p

If the administration was a success, I don't think anyone would resign.

Casp, what are you doing posting in Ollie's journal? OLLIE IS MINE

And Ollie? CASP IS MINE

Ahem. Anyway, maybe Colin just wants to get back to repairing old Volvos before he's too old.

Umm, I've got no idea how long I've had commonpeople on my friends list to be honest. Infact, I dont know much about him, I think he's been on there for aaaaages, I think he just magically appeared :-o

Should stop talking about someone in their own journal as if he wasnt here :-|

Ollie is pretty magical, and talk about him all you want. I don't see him anywhere around, do you? :P

All publicity is good publicity.

yes, you should. :)

You added me a few months ago... then you deleted your journal... then you added me back.

So is that how Casp found out about me... I was wondering.

It sounds to me like Bush is pushing out the moderate cabinet voices...and the end result? My guess is that it's only going to get worse, not better.

So you think he's secretly being asked to leave?

If he was a co-worker of yours, he must have been delusional. ;)

I wish he'd wear a black cape. It would make politics more interesting.

And maybe he could bite off the heads of bats during the Republican convention and throw the carcasses into the crowds.
