  4. c ya http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/19/mcclellan/index.html WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A shake-up in President Bush's administration widened Wednesday as White House press secretary Scott McClellan announced his resignation and a senior administration official said longtime Bush confidant Karl Rove will no longer oversee policy development. News of McClellan's exit comes shortly after the departure of longtime White House chief of staff Andrew Card and amid calls by retired U.S. generals for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. During an appearance on the South Lawn with Bush, McClellan announced his departure after two years as press secretary saying his departure was right during a "time of transition." (Watch McClellan's throat-strained announcement -- 2:43) "I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary," McClellan said. He's expected to remain on the job until his replacement is named. CNN has learned from multiple Republican sources that new White House chief of staff Josh Bolten reached out to Fox News anchor Tony Snow several weeks ago at the White House. Snow, who was a speechwriter for former President George H.W. Bush, had no comment on the story. (John Roberts says the job of White House press secretary "can eat you up.") Republican sources familiar with Bolten's conversations about staff changes said people of interest to replace McClellan include former Treasury spokesman Rob Nichols and former Pentagon spokeswoman and current CNN contributor Victoria Clarke. Clarke dismissed the suggestion on CNN several weeks ago. As for Rove -- the powerful architect of Bush's two presidential campaigns -- a senior White House official told CNN that Rove will no longer focus on policy but will be involved in long-term strategic planning as a deputy chief of staff and a senior adviser. The official said the Joel Kaplan, now a deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, will move to the White House as deputy chief of staff for policy. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, who leads the Senate Democratic campaign effort, said the Bush administration has "never separated politics from policy and that's been one of the reasons for its undoing. Late is better than never but the key for the White House will be getting a new person in charge of policy independent from Karl Rove who understands that policy is not simply politics." 'Honor and privilege' McClellan said it had been "an extraordinary honor and privilege" serving the president. "The White House is going through a time of transition," McClellan said. "Change can be helpful. This is a good time and a good position to help bring about change. I'm ready to move on. I've been in this position a long time and my wife and I are excited about beginning the next chapter in our life together." Bush thanked McClellan for his service to the country. "His is a challenging assignment dealing with you all on a regular basis and I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity," Bush said. "He really represents the best of his family, our state and our country. It's going to be hard to replace Scott." Later, accompanying Bush aboard Air Force One on a flight to Alabama, McClellan entered the press cabin and shook hands with reporters, according to The Associated Press. Someone said it was a sad moment, and McClellan replied, "It is sad on some level," AP reported. McClellan said he would accompany Bush on a trip to California this weekend and remain on the job for a couple more weeks. Bush: 'I accept it' McClellan took over the position in July 2003 after his predecessor Ari Fleischer resigned. McClellan served as deputy press secretary under Fleischer. Speaking to Bush, McClellan said, "You've accomplished a lot over the last several years with this team and I have been honored and grateful to be a small part of a terrific and talented team of really good people." "He's made the decision and I accept it," Bush said. The announcement came during the first full week on the job for Bolten, who told senior White House aides Monday to be prepared for personnel changes in the coming days to "refresh and re-energize" the Bush administration after months of declining approval ratings and political reversals. In another administration staff shift, Bush announced Tuesday that Rob Portman, the current U.S. trade representative, would take Bolten's former post of director of the Office of Management and Budget. (Full story) Susan Schwab, Portman's deputy, is to take his place.

  9. dude fell 39 stories, pretty sad. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/14368678.htm Parts of downtown Miami will remain closed to traffic the rest of the day -- and probably into Wednesday morning -- as authorities try to secure the crane that caused the death of a construction worker Monday night. The road closures have caused miles-long backups on Interstate 95 and the Dolphin Expressway through downtown Miami. Meanwhile, authorities disclosed the identity of the deceased construction worker. Police said Jesse B. Morris, a 47-year-old man from Douglassville, Ga., plummeted to his death Monday night when he fell from a downtown skyscraper on Biscayne Boulevard. Morris had been standing on a concrete crane platform at the Marina Blue condominium, under construction at Northeast Eighth Street and Biscayne Boulevard. The platform broke beneath him around 6:30 p.m., fire-rescue officials said. Another worker, Jesse Morris, 20, believed to be the elder Morris' son, also fell, but was saved by his safety harness. Co-workers coached that man back onto the building and he was taken to the hospital where he was reported in good condition on Tuesday. City of Miami Police and Fire-Rescue officials had not determined what might have caused the crane's platform to crack, although winds were strong at sunset. Biscayne Boulevard, Northeast First and Second avenues, and Northeast Fifth through 10th streets were all closed to traffic Monday night, out of concern that the large yellow crane that runs up the full length of the condo building might collapse. Police officers and the developer at the construction site at Biscayne Boulevard at Northeast Eighth Street are trying to bring in another crane to secure the damaged one. ''Until that's done, it won't be safe for pedestrians or motor traffic,'' said Lt. Bill Schwartz, a Miami police spokesman. Officers have cordoned off Northeast First and Second avenues, and Northeast Fifth through 10th streets. They fear the yellow crane might collapse. The Biscayne Boulevard exit ramp on the Dolphin was closed mid morning and traffic was being re-directed to head east over Biscayne Bay and loop around the Parrot Jungle facility heading west onto Biscayne Blvd. The Miami Dade Transit Authority said the Metromover's Omni Loop will likely remain closed until at least tomorrow. A shuttle bus has been added in its place, but it, too, is stuck in traffic. ''We're waiting for the crane to be secured to the building,'' said Manny Palmeiro, spokesman for the Transit Authority. An official for the crane company at Morrow Equipment Company said he didn't know how long it would take to secure the crane. The worker fell from a concrete crane, whose platform had cracked, at the Marina Blue condominium currently being built at Northeast Eighth Street and Biscayne Boulevard. Another worker was saved by co-workers and his safety harness. The cause of the crane's platform crack is under investigation. The workers' identities have not been released. North Bayshore Drive, normally a calm two-way street, turned into a free for all. Drivers hopped the sidewalk and drove in the wrong lane, forcing fellow drivers to swerve or come to a complete stop. At intervals, the chaos was so overwhelming it turned the street into a parking lot of buses, trucks, cars, sport utility vehicles and motorcycles. Miami Herald staff writer Nicole White contributed to this report.
