> Actually, as it turns out, he’s not the shortest serving communications director. If I understand correctly, John Koehler was tossed by President Reagan after only five days. This was primarily bad timing: Reagan changed his Chief of Staff (from Donald Regan to Howard Baker) just after Koehler was hired, and Baker wanted his own guy, so he terminated Koehler.
