I dannae if the ship of state could take any more…As suspected, the continuing White House shakeup claims another victim in press secretary Scott McClellan. (Text of statement.) Also, Rove got reassigned from policy to politics, but that sounds like more of a cosmetic switch than anything else.

So after the generals kept saying “Fire Rumsfeld,” Bush dumps McClellan instead. Typical.
I liked John Dickerson’s take: “The generals aimed at Donald Rumsfeld and hit Scott McClellan…White House officials recognize there needs to be a shake-up, but they’re resistant to doing anything too vigorous. So, it wasn’t altogether surprising that when the new Chief of Staff Josh Bolten signaled the need for change, the dutiful, gracious, and somewhat pinatalike McClellan stepped forward to sacrifice himself for one last symbolic mission.”
