Why No One In This Administration Ever Resigns

This is what we have come to:

One of this week's most high profile fights has been between the White House and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who charged that Bush was dismissive of her request to fire FEMA Director Michael Brown during his session with House leaders Tuesday.

"Why would I do that?" Bush said, according to Pelosi, who responded, "Because of all that went wrong, with all that didn't go right last week."

"What didn't go right?" Bush said, according to Pelosi.

"Oblivious. In denial. Dangerous," she said.

CNN's Dana Bash reports that a senior administration official, who was in the meeting, denied Pelosi's account. The official said the president challenged her by asking rhetorically, "Oh you know? You've conducted an investigation?"

Pelosi then demurred, according to the official. "Thank you for your advice," Bush said.
Anyone who has watched CNN at anytime in the past week could answer the question in either Pelosi's version, or the "senior administration official's" version.

As watertiger said of the "new" version: "It's his equivalent of 'I know you are, but what am I?' "

Pitiful, isn't it?
