Bob Woodward tells Larry King about new allegations on the Iraq war, the White House and upcoming elections.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card twice sought to persuade President Bush to fire Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the second time with the support of first lady Laura Bush, Bob Woodward writes in a new book on the Bush administration's Iraq war policy.

Card on Friday did not dispute that he had talked about a Rumsfeld resignation with the president but said it was his job to discuss a wide range of possible replacements, including his own. He denied talking to Mrs. Bush about the subject.

White House spokesman Tony Snow shrugged off the book as "cotton candy. It kind of melts on contact."

1. Yea, I heard that. I also heard that Kissinger said no because it

would make it look like Shrub was admitting having made a mistake. ord knows we can't have anything like that happen!

3. We Know Whose Boss Now

von Rumsfedlt must have pictures of old Hank yanking the weinerschnitzel and Chenney with a goat. I used to think it was Chenney who was calling the shots, this book proves different.

Also...maybe this explains why Pickles moved out to the Mayflower. I haven't heard that rumor lately.
