Scotty's Gotta Go!

Calling out around the world - are you ready for a brand new beat? Summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the street!

OK, so it's not quite summer yet (although it might push 70 today in Chicago), but a public display of jubilation might not be entirely uncalled for. Rumor has it that White House press secretary and all-around douchebag Scott McClellan will soon be out of a job!

Now I can't claim sole credit for this momentous turn of events, although I have rallied against McClellan again and again and again. CNN was the first to break the story last week:

In his new role as chief of staff, [Josh] Bolten is focusing on improving White House communications and legislative affairs to regenerate the administration's message and performance, said sources familiar with his thinking.

"There are two positions he is anxious to turn – Scott [McClellan]'s position and legislative affairs," said a source with close ties to the White House.

Numerous Republican officials said the discussion is focused on McClellan.

"There is a lot of dissatisfaction with the state of communications, the daily communication from the podium, the congressional communications and strategic communications from both in and outside the White House," said one White House insider.

While Secretary Douchebag has a relationship with President Bush that dates back to the Texas legislature and has "no real intention of leaving", it is no stretch to see his positioning as the administration's scapegoat for its ridiculously poor communication skills and disregard for the public's right to access to information. Thought I appreciate the figurative gesture, is it too much to ask him to literally fall on a sword as well?

It's just an invitation across the nation - a chance for folks to meet. There'll be laughing, singing, music swinging and dancing in the street!
