Obligatory Rove/McClellan/Snow Post

Not really news at this point, but maybe grist for comments.

The WH says McClellan wasn't forced out, but Time says he was. For once I'm on Time's side.

The New Editor quotes a Michael Wolff hit-piece about McClellan. Michael Wolff is a vapid shitweasel overly impressed by his own "attitude-charged" form of wit, but for once I'm on Michael Wolff's side.

If you looked up "hapless" in the dictionary, you'd see a photo of Scott McClellan, except you wouldn't, because he wasn't able to make the photo session because he had an impacted molar that day.

Tony Snow, who is not at all hapless, may replace him. Which would be great for the White House and great for Snow; I always felt his firing from Fox News Sunday was undeserved.

Rove's policymaking role stripped away; given the policy coming out of the White House of late, that sounds like a pretty good idea. Rove's big ideas seem to have been Harriet Miers, the prescription drug (sorta) benefit, and minting millions of new Democratic/economic left voters by giving citizenship to illegal immigrants. We could use less of that sort of genius.

It may also be a bit of distancing from Rove; I'm sure the media isn't done with him yet on Plamegate.

In related, very stale, Drudge-linked news:

Rolling Stone says Bush is the worst President in history, in an article by Sean Wilentz, a Princeton historian who moonlights as an unpaid DNC hack.

That's shocking, of course, but more shocking still is Time magazine's list of the Ten Best Senators, which features -- are you ready? -- Ted Kennedy, Dick Durbin, Carl Levin, John McCain, Olympia Snowe, and Arlen Specter.

So obviously there's no political bias there; the list includes Senators from both political persuasions, mixing the most liberal of Democrats with the most liberal of Republicans.

Read Time, and understand... the unchangeable college-sophomore lefty mindset of 55 year old Yuppie liberals.
