Another Card Comment

The fact that Andrew Card responded to Wolf Biltzer's request for a reaction to John Kerry's quote regarding Bush's Iraq Policy: "Did I expect George Bush to f..k it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did." with nothing more than a mild request to use cleaner language when berating the President's policies just may reveal that Card is completely irrelevant in the White House.

Card obviously hadn't given any thought to defending the President's policies. How the heck can he be in charge of managing the President's activities and not know that he was supposed to respond to the attack on those policies, not on the use of a vulgarism to attack them?

It's been a long time since there was a Chief of Staff who didn't know how to defend the President's policies. I presume he's just another secretary in the building, and that Rove is directing things from the inside, making Card truly irrelevant.
