I Still Don't Sleep At Night

We knew Christie Whitman would not hang around for another four years, but still isn't it sort of fun to pretend now that two, count 'em two, Bush spokesliars, have resigned in the same week that something like the Jim Carrey movie Liar Liar curse has broken out in the Bush Camp and the bunch of them are going to have to start resigning because they just can't lie anymore. I'd enjoy watching the resignations come flooding in; I really would. And they would try to lie about why they were resigning and they wouldn't be able to do it. It would be so funny. Grist Magazine predicted last Decemberthat it was more than rumors, and that she'd soon be gone. As they pointed out then, one of her many odious tasks under Bush was explaining to parents why it's a good idea to allow high levels of arsenic in drinking water. And let's not even talk about how "she had to defend the U.S.'s ignominious withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, even after promising European officials that her country would continue to back the treaty" as Grist pointed out. Or keeping a straight face while stating that air pollution will be reduced if utilities go unregulated. She and Ari could swap some big ones with the best down at the liars' club. And now they both have the same need: to spend time with their spouses. Isn't that special? Of course, the terrible, awful, no good news is who will take her place.
