POTUS unloads the first of the Chicago mob with the sudden and unimportant departure of the clotheshorse and media star Desiree Rogers, who has managed to transform White House social secretary into a national security post by refusing to testify to Congress because of executive privilege. Hilarious. Rogers's departure follows her inability and unwillingness to explain the crashing boors and Vegas barflies, the Salahis. Why did Rogers go now? No one cares. The critical question is if the other Chicago groupies follow. Adriel Bettelheim, CQ, reminds that Rogers has limited employment opportunity in Washington because of the mother-may-I rules of the Obama administration about lobbying after a White House job.

For Federal, state and municipal budgets to come back into line, somebody will have to start doing something about the swelling ranks of expensive (in Desiree’s case: $113,000/ annum) public sector union employees. Could Desiree Rogers be the beginning of a trend? The First Lady, after all, did increase her personal staff roughly tenfold. Perhaps she too now knows that economies are in order and must start at home. It does seem, though, that too many of the faces dismissed by this administration are black. Perhaps, they should be looking into the efficacy of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs - which brings up still another puzzle: Can Gibbs be expected to turn on Obama like McClellan did on Bush?

Are WH employees members of a government employee union? I seriously doubt it.
