Whatever. The White House is continuing to spoon feed the Post reporters their spin and the Post dutifully reports. So now they have the BIG scoop that Josh Bolten might make some changes:
The White House is planning additional staff changes that could come as early as next week as part of a broader effort to repair relations with Congress and revive the Bush presidency, according to several Republicans familiar with the emerging strategy.And, but just so every knows how plugged in the Post reporters are, we get this VERY important scoop:
Joshua B. Bolten, who takes over April 15 as White House chief of staff, is developing a proposal to overhaul West Wing operations with the twin aims of bringing more voices into the policymaking process and avoiding staff breakdowns such as the slow response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
As he prepares to assume the top staff job, Bolten has focused heavily on rebuilding ties with Congress, telephoning 30 key lawmakers in the first 24 hours after his appointment.Wow. Josh Bolten is doing his job -- call the Washington Post!!
And replacing Claude Allen -- who is facing criminal charges -- doesn't really count as a major staff change.
