The End of Double-Speak?

I was happy to hear that the smarmy, duplicitous Ari Fleischer will be stepping down as White House Press Secretary. Every time I heard that guy give one of his uninformative, equivocal, smart-alecky and even untruthful news conferences, it just made me dislike the administration even more. God help the poor woman he married, who will now be subject to hearing his bullshit around the house all day long. Granted, this is one of the hardest jobs in all of politics, but the least you can do is be as consistent and straightforward with your press corps. It is indeed possible to maintain secrets of national security without sounding so crypitc all of the time. Why can't we get The West Wing's Alison Janney to replace him? After four years of President Bartlett's improbable fiascos she could certainly handle Dubya.
