Goss "nudged" from post - new euphemism

[central scrutinizer]

Looks like Rove is trying another trial balloon to see if this can be spun to their benefit.

CIA Director Porter Goss resigned unexpectedly Friday, nudged from the helm of a spy agency still reeling from intelligence failures before America's worst terrorist attack and faulty information that formed the U.S. rationale for invading Iraq.

The decision was the latest in a series of moves by President Bush to shake up his team and reinvigorate his second term. A successor to Goss could come as early as Monday, a senior administration official said.

...Scott McClellan is "Scott WHO?"

4. Was all this the result of prayer day? Is God pissed at the repubs?

When they all prayed for our leaders I think they meant that God was supposed to give them more power not less.
