Let's be fair to Andrew Card: Any man who gets to work at 5:30 and leaves at 10 at night (and takes calls starting at 4 am and ending at 11 pm) deserves our appreciation. Certainly he was working longer hours than George Bush these last five years.

Gripping the podium, Card said in his farewell: “You’re a good man, Mr. President.” Card’s eyes were watery. Card said he looks forward to just being Bush’s friend.Unfortunately for Bush, Card's replacement, Joshua Bolten, comes from a troubled area of his administration, having served as budget director and, before that, as deputy policy director.
