| Ari Fleischer resigns |
| 2003-05-19 |
| WASHINGTON - White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, the public face of the Bush administration through two wars and a terrorist attack, said Monday he will resign in July to enter the private sector. His replacement will likely be deputy press secretary Scott McLellan. "I've decided my time has come to leave the White House," Fleischer said in a telephone interview. The spokesman said he wanted to leave the hard-driving job before President Bush's re-election campaign geared up. If I had to listen to Terry Moron (D-ABC) and look at Helen Thomas (D-Jurassic Period) every day, I'd resign too. That's too much to ask for any man to bear |

| #4 buy low... sell high... Mr. Fleischer paid his dues and is now cashing in his chips... Can't say I blame him. Thanks for your hard work Ari. |

| #3 " ...but to be that close to the President during this momentous time is priceless." I don't know so much about that... Some headaches are just not worth the cost, no matter what. Fleischer has a super-headache job that probably takes 18 hours a day or more. I think I'd opt out too, after a few years. |

| #2 I shake my head at how a relatively young guy (41) would leave such a plum assignment. I understand that he probably wants to get out there and make some real money, but to be that close to the President during this momentous time is priceless. |

| #1 He said "bear". Huh, uh huh! (Think Beavis & Butthead referencing the sub-eating bear item - sorry folks, I couldn't resist!) |
