Goodbye to You

These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you
--Goodbye to You, Patty Smyth

Just as I was developing an intense dislike for the woman, Frances Frago Townsend, the president's homeland security and counterterrorism adviser of the past 4 1/2 years announces she will be exiting stage right next January (Homeland Security Adviser Townsend Leaving White House.")

First GWB loses long-time Texas flunkie Karen Hughes, now Frago Townsend, the woman who never met a convoluted non-statement she didn't like. The ladies are staging a defection, it seems.

The semblance of multi-culti bleeds from this semblance of a presidency. Condoleeza Rice alone remains, and it is unlikely she would forgo such a savory apres-administration meal ticket as her current post will provide.

Perhaps it was her years prosecuting mobsters what came back to haunt Ms. Frago Townsend. Even attorneys must suffer the red meanies in their deep sleep, after too long abed with the people they once fought against.
