Headline: Changes to Bush Staff Expected Soon

It's an overused, abused cliche, but it's hard to read this headline without rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic coming to mind.

The fact is everyone knows it doesn't matter who leaves-- they'll keep the people they should toss and toss the people who have no reason to go. (Yes, Karl and Donald, I'm looking in your general direction.) The only way things could improve is if Bush suddenly changed his entire MO and hired some independent, well-informed people who are willing to tell him what they think rather than what he wants to hear.

But if Bush did that we would then have confirmation that bodysnatchers had successfully infiltrated the White House.
