Scotty has resigned and Fox is reporting that Tony Snow may be his replacement as WH press secretary.
Josh Marshall comments on the whole alleged "shake-up" pretense:
"In all seriousness, I think the real story here continues to be that things are so bad at the White House, the level of denial and secrets to be kept, the self-bamboozlement and bad-faith so profound, that they just can't manage to bring in any new blood."
…
"Finally, can they find anyone on the outside who wants in?"

Who The Hell Is That Stupid?
update:
On last night's O’Reilly Factor, Scotty's potential shoe-filler Tony Snow attributed high gas prices to “people complaining about Donald Rumsfeld.”
Myself, I'd actually be surprised if Snow took the gig. He's got a cushy job with a comfy fat paycheck and he doesn't have a big target painted daily on his ass. I guess I just don't imagine him to be that much of a terminal masochist.
