    I have been bemused (and semi-annoyed at times) by some of the hysterical coverage about Fleischer's resignation. It is possible for a White House official to decide that it is time to move on, for crying out loud. It isn't like being White House Press Secretary is a low stress job.

    And it isn't like he can't be replaced. To go by some of the stuff I heard on news coverage on a San Diego radio station that I was listening to Limbaugh on, you'd think that the SecDef resigned in the middle of a war or something.

    I think people tend to forget how often press secretaries resign. I know when I was younger, I thought the world was going to end when Marlin Fitzwater resigned. It didn't. Press Secretary may be the second most high-stress job in the White House. I mean, think about it: You have no minions, no cabinet level department, and you have to deal with the press every stinkin' day.
