It’s Dan Bartlett. Maybe the story’s true - leaving to spend more time with family - because he has 3-year old twin boys and another baby born in January.
But if it isn’t true, Dubya’s lost a very close staffer. See the story at…

I’m not sure which thread is more of a non-debate… this one or the other one you started about what you heard on Olberman last night.
Er… what’s the debate?
Silly! The debate is whether this should be in MPSIMS or not!
Do you think his excuse for leaving is true?
Definitely MPSIMSish.
No it’s not!
Look, I came in here for an argument.
You weren’t looking for the Department of Silly Walks?
He’s “lost a very close staffer” whether the reasons given are true or not.
In any event, Bartlett’s on Hardball tonight.
No, he isn’t.
Asshole.
Reported.
Anyway, there’s no way of knowing. Maybe he really wants to spend more time with family. Maybe he’s burnt out. Maybe he’s fed up with Bush. Maybe Bush is fed up with him. We’ll never know.
My kids are pretty close to that age, and two of them are twins.
There is no possible way I could take a White House job at any level given what is happening in my life right now.
So I can see it.
I’m not quite sure why you felt the need to post this witty response, but this is a Warning that you are not to repeat this behavior in Great Debates or anywhere outside the **
BBQ Pit**.
