Perino to press: It's just a job

By Libby

From the White House presser, after asking about Gonzales and Wolfowitz, this is definitely the question of the day.

Q:Does the President ever get tired of having to express his full confidence in the people around him these days?

MS. PERINO: When you're President of the United States and you have this many folks that you are employing, it's a pretty small number that he's had to express full confidence in. All of us who serve at the pleasure of the President, if the moment he doesn't have full confidence in you, you no longer work for him. And we all take that very seriously.

Poor Dana. Not an easy job to be the mouth of Bush but then again, nobody forced her to take the job. Personally I'd rather starve than have to abase myself like that for such a petty man. In any event, we might remind her that the President works at the pleasure of the people and the mood on the street is dark. The way things are going, she might find none of them have a job, sooner than she thinks.
