McClellan Leaves White House Press Office

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday he is resigning, continuing a shakeup in President Bush's administration that has already yielded a new chief of staff and could lead to a change in the Cabinet.

Appearing with Bush on the White House South Lawn just before the president boarded a helicopter at the start a trip to Alabama, McClellan, who has parried especially fiercefully with reporters on Iraq and on intelligence issues, told Bush: "I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary."

Another one bites the dust. And so the Fred Barnes plan for reviving the Bush Presidency proceeds apace. This will get interesting if or when they actually do try to kick Karl Rove to the curb.
