All the Texans gone but one? No big deal. Only 19% of George's term left.
so, rove is the only texan left...? no biggie, at least not if you swallow the la times spin...
typical pattern, eh...? hmmmm... lemme see... < counts on fingers > oops... not enough fingers...
< counts on toes, too > hmmmmm... not enough toes either... ok, there's 12 months in a year, so that must mean that a half a year has 6 months... 12 + 6 = 18... wow...! 18 months to go... that's a pretty long time... 8 years in two terms x 12 months in a year = 96 months... 18 divided by 96 = DAMN...! that's almost 19% of george's presidency left and THEY'RE ALL BAILING... well, i suppose they're right, it's just typical... or... could it be that george has become radioactive and everybody's getting out before the house comes down around their ears...?

Bartlett's decision to leave underscores the growing challenge the president will face in the last 1 1/2 years of his administration.
