Mr. Bartlett should join the military since he
is young enough to join since he has no regrets about the Iraq war. Actually, he should have his
children join also.

Wonder if Bartlett resigned because of this new
law Bush signed in this month called NSPD-51. He
probably didn't want his fingerprints on that one.

"Dan Bartlett, one of President Bush's most trusted advisers and his longest-serving aide, said Friday he is resigning to begin a career outside of government."

According to unconfirmed reports, Jack Kevorkian was approached to succeed Bartlett, but declined. "Too depressing," he said.

I believe that this man will be assinated if he doen't turn states evident and goes under protection of the FBI, but the Attorney General who has told the most lies in history before a congressional investigation protecting Bush is over the FBI(the whole Justice Department). I just thought, he has no law enforncement agency to seek help without them getting to him. This sound like the TV series "24". He is attempting to get away from the Bush administration hoping that he will escape jail. He will eventually attempt to write a book that will further shed light on why Bush is committing treason agaist the United States.

"Bartlett said he was open to job opportunities and had retained Washington attorney Bob Barnett to help him in the search. "

Why would anyone retain a lawyer to help in a job search? Just by mentioning how close this man was to Bush makes him seem like a criminal--retaining a lawyer does not help. Either he will be outright despises or welcomed by a company--it all depends on whether the company has morals and integrity or lacks them. Guilt and smear by association Bartlett.

Seems another GBII aid may be wanting to resign soon, there are news reports that there is now sworn testimony for a loyal repub not in jail by the way, that Rove is linked to the political prosecution of the ex- Alabama governor to dissuade him from counting the votes when the tallies all of a sudden changed in favor of his opponent, so can a President pardon in advance of prosecution and conviction, hope not? Seems the former Gov appointed a fellow to a position as a possible reward for a big contribution to the States Lottery, lol can%u2019t wait for this one to be overturned this can not be against the law can it, and the USA was one of the alleged conspirators wife. %u2026%u2026.movie I think.
Dominoes anyone? Ashcroft making Gonzo look good.

wondering if anyone saw this in the Dallas Morning News here is an exerpt and a link:

"But by all reports, President Bush is more convinced than ever of his righteousness.

Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated "I am the president!" He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could not get out of "our country's destiny." "

'you've done a heck of a job Barty'

Thanks for helping the worst president in our history to come to power. Thanks for helping him to stay in his little bubble and uninformed while he drives the rest of the world and his country into oblivion by his delusional and disastrous foreign and domestic agenda.

If you think your time with Bush was a roller coaster ride that went mainly up, please keep riding your roller coaster with no regrets. The rest of us knows very well where that roller coaster is heading.

Hmmmmm, yet another Bush rat deserting a rapidly sinking ship. How many are left? It's no wonder Bush is suddenly sounding conciliatory in so many ways. Too bad it's too late for him to save his horrible legacy.

"It's been a roller coaster that seems always to go up," Bartlett said of his White House years.

No, Dan. It was a roller coaster that has continued to spiral downward. You just thought it was going up because you were on your knees licking Bush's boots.

From the story:

"(Bartlett) said he had no regrets about the Iraq war and he believes Mr. Bush's low approval ratings were the result of making tough decisions."

No, Dan, Bozo's low approval ratings are due to the fact he makes lousy decisions, is a pathological liar, megalomaniac and is the worst president in US history.

And, you have a bright future as a used car salesman given your ability to lie with a straight face. Your ability to unabashedly represent a pig as a silk purse will also be helpful in your next career. So long as it involves *** people out of their money, that is.

'DENIAL' is the key word, but toooooooooooo late.
I don't know of any AA meeting OR "Treatment Facility" in this country that would take POTUS.

How DO these people sleep at night?

He's only 36? Those 14 years with Bush haven't done much for his aging process. He looks about 10 years older.

I thought Andy Chard 's resignation was strange not any more after the reports lately. Wonder what is behind this resignation, I know what they say is not the truth so I guess we will have to wait for a leak or the book.
