Scott McLellan Resigns From World's Most Thankless Job

From Breitbart:

Appearing with Bush on the White House South Lawn just before the president boarded a helicopter at the start a trip to Alabama, McClellan, who has parried especially fiercefully with reporters on Iraq and on intelligence issues, told Bush: "I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary."

Bush said McClellan had "a challenging assignment."

"I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity," the president said. "It's going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it. One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."

Also, in an ongoing shakeup of the president's staff, longtime confidant and adviser Karl Rove is giving up oversight of policy development to focus more on politics with the approach of the fall midterm elections, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

Fox News identifies FNC's own Tony Snow, Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clark, and former Coalition Provisional Authority spokesman (and Fox News contributor) Dan Senor as possible replacements.

My prediction:  Senor.  A very well-spoken, affable representative of the administration who recently pulled off a favorable appearance in as potentially hostile a venue as The Colbert Report.  He and the President are also fellow Harvard MBAs.

Anyway, here's hoping Scott finds a rewarding and lucrative new job, ideally one where he has less cr*p slung at him on a daily basis.  Like monkey custodian or cesspool declogger.
