Breaking on CNN.

I'm guessing this is either because he lost credibility with the White House Press or he's tired of covering for Dubya's screwups.

Either way, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Before you celebrate a non-event realize that Clinton had three press secretaries but the reality was 4; George Stephanopolus (Unofficial but gave more press briefings than the official P.S. at the time.) Dee Dee Meyers, Mike McCurry and finally Joe Lockhart.

You do not go through 8 years as President without major changes in every level of the executive branch. It's a recent phenomenon that VP's stay for 2 terms. Roosevelt had 3 VP's. So why would press secretary be any different?

If you want to whore up every personnel move as a partisan event or achievement that's fine. It just illustrates your complete lack of knowledge how the executive branch works and the ebb and flow of personnel through Washington politics.
