George Tenet resigns...

I quote from Fox News (full article Here.)

***
Bush said Tenet has "done a super job" and is the "kind of public servant you like to work with."

Tenet will serve as the CIA director until mid-July, Bush said, then CIA Deputy Director John McLaughlin (search) will serve as acting director.

"I send my blessings to George and his family," Bush said from the White House lawn. "I look forward to working with him until the time he leaves the agency, and I wish him all the very best.Bush said Tenet has "done a super job" and is the "kind of public servant you like to work with."

Translation:

Bush said Tenet "told me what I wanted to hear, and then quietly rolled over when the shit hit the fan. He took one for the Gipper."

Tenet will serve as the CIA director until mid-July, Bush said, then CIA Deputy Director John McLaughlin (search) will be his puppet until November.

"I want to thank George for resigning so I didn't have to fire him," Bush meant to say from the White House lawn. "I can't wait until the time he leaves the agency, and I hope this sweeps the whole WMD thing under the rug in time for the election." Bush also meant to say "Thank God I was able to get this Clinton appointee out before the election. Now I need to presure Rumsfeld to do the same, and get Cheney to stop fucking things up for me."
