Welcome back, Andy.
Having already beaten up on overworked and underappreciated Andy Card - the longest serving Presidential Chief of Staff in modern history - I have to admit that the news of his resignation, and in particular the follow-up announcement that his replacement would be current OMB director Josh Bolten, was more than a bit anti-climactic.
It tempts me to send a note to the White House saying, simply, "So, how's those deck chairs looking, Captain Smith?"
Certainly, those of us expecting a major housecleaning have to be feeling more than a little let down by this.
But then again, this is George Bush we're talking about.
In any case, welcome back to Holbrook Mr. Card - and, in all seriousness, many thanks for your hard work. You've earned a long and peaceful rest and time with family and friends and I hope you are afforded to opportunity to take it.
Best wishes.
