Ding, dong the witch is dead…

Okay, not the witch, maybe one of the higher ranking flying monkeys. Either way, good riddance :

White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, the public face of the Bush administration through two wars and a terrorist attack, said Monday he will resign in July to enter the private sector.
. . .
He frustrated reporters by constantly refusing to answer the toughest questions and sometimes irked his White House colleagues by pushing for access behind the scenes ? often without success.

His meatless pronouncements on Bush policy are generally in keeping with a White House that keeps a tight lid on information. Though he is not as close to the president as other top aides, Fleischer has earned Bush’s respect by taming what the president considers to be a hostile press corps.

“Hostile press corps”? The press treats every speech Bush delivers like it’s breaking news. He gets hours of airtime each week to present his policies and opinions in an unchallenged manner and that’s hostile??
