President George W. "W" Bush decided to move past the whole Gannon/Guckert/Rove McLellan scandal by appointing a new press secretary whose background is ideally suited for the role.

"So the truth was dear to thee.  Know that it suffered mightily.  Before we fucking killed it.  Aaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!" the Mouth of Sauron reportedly uttered, before biting the head off Helen Thomas.

Or maybe its the new secretary of state, what with parlays,  treaties and all that shit.
