by senior Whitehouse advisors. This is the spin that the Whitehouse is trying to put on it. If it had been in the works for a couple of weeks, you can rest assured that a replacement or temporary replacement would have been at his side. And it would not have been dumped on a Friday afternoon.

9. "He's going to look like an idiot." |
|
Only to the 6 or so people in the country who are both paying attention and equipped with sufficient wit to understand what's going on.

10. Nice try Timmy, but your version doesn't make sense. |
|
The announcement of Goss' resignation was an abrupt surprise to the entire press corps.
That's not how you handle something that's been in the works for weeks, as Timmy claims. Hell, no. If this had been in the works, they'd have a successor lined up, they'd have a better excuse, they'd just be smoother about it.
Sorry, Tim. I'm not buying it. And I imagine the "smoking gun" that brought down Porter Goss so abruptly will emerge in a similar manner.
