Bye Bye Bartlet

Here's the Times's news break. So Dan Bartlet is goin to spend some more time with his family. Just had a new baby, it seems, who has been christened "Exit Strategy."

Couple of observations:

Old fashioned PR ploy: announce annoying news on a Friday (other rule: announce disasterous news on a Saturday). Unsurprsining.

But, not to be agesist...Dan Bartlet, conisistently referred to as one of the Presidents most important and senior advisors, was all of ...36?!? Meaning when they came to the White House he was 30? Isn't that little young? But he's been with Bush for ever, loyalty has it rewards, and wet behind the ears Texas politicos hold top advisory posts in a nationa at war.

Well, he's gone.
