Andy Card out as White House Chief of Staff, Josh Bolten will replace him. I wouldn't characterize this as much of a shake up in the White House staff. It's more like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Nothing in the way of new blood, and with Card out of the way, Rove should reign supreme in the West Wing.
Card will fall just short of being the longest ever serving White House Chief of Staff. That honor belongs to Sherman Adams, the Chief of Staff for Dwight Eisenhower. Adams was forced to resign after accepting a vicuna fur coat from a textile manufacturer that was being investigated by the federal government. Times sure have changed, huh?
