Bush looses his voice.
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, said today that he will resign this summer, probably in late July. The reason might be, that he was starting to tell the truth?
Fleischer, 42, a native of Pound Ridge, New York, and veteran of more than 20 years in Washington politics, mostly on Capitol Hill, was relentlessly disciplined in pressing the president's particular message of the day. Fleisher, was an active "teller" of the neo conservative message on behalf of the Bush administration.
Fleischer said if he did not leave now he would need to stay on through Bush's re-election campaign. Sources said Fleischer was not forced out, but he wanted to avoid burning out.
I guess there is a limit to how many times a press secretary can cover the inadequacies of a president and his administration. It must be extremely hard, to knowingly, twist the truth over and over again to the American people.
Ari is much more intelligent than Bush, and the lack of intelligent forethought that Bush exhibits, must have grated on him. The President's audacity and nonsensical view of the world, must have finally stuck in Ari's craw.
I am starting to loose track on how many people have resigned from the Bush administration. I will try and count them up later. I think we have lost more that Blair lost in Britain.
Goodbye Ari, good luck on your book deals and speaking tours.
