    I don't get why it falls on Obama to have to announce that that dude is leaving the Black Keys

    Everyone always hates the White House Press Secretary, doesn't matter if it's a Republican or Democrat, popular president or unpopular president, it has to be one of the hardest and most thankless jobs in the world.

    i don't remember dana parino or tony snow getting much guff, but obviously it was easier to address the Bush administration than Obama administration.

    I think it just depends on what crowd you are in.

    No, if you're conservative you are always right, also if you are liberal you are always right. That's why we have the garbage dump known as D&D

    Don't blame him, pretty much the worst job ever.

    Well, you're in on all the meetings, but you don't do any of the actual work. And (like any cabinet job) you've got contacts out the wazoo once you're done. All those fake-ass PR/non-profit jobs that start at mid-six-figures.

    The average term for these guys is under 2.5 years. He served a little over 3. I am sure he needed to get away.

    I'm actually embarrassed to say that both the incoming White House press secretary as well as one of Obama's top speech writers attended Rice University.

    A black mark on the school.

    You're a much bigger black mark on that school. If they read what you post here, they would take back that sheepskin.

    Lose the intellectual dishonesty and I might consider it.

    So it's OK for you to disparage the reputation of graduates who do honorable work in the governance of the nation and not OK to disparage your posts on an anonymous forum where you consistently look petty and self-serving?

    Civility? how does it work?
