The pot calling the kettle black

David Ignatius writing in today's Washington Post thinks President Bush's replacement of his Chief of Staff Andrew Card with OMB Director Josh Bolten is a mistake. To prove it, Mr. Ignatius has the following.

They've reached all the way across the driveway for new blood," says John Podesta, who became Bill Clinton's chief of staff in 1998, during a similar period of disarray. "When you're in a deep hole, you have to do more than that."

That's an interesting person to quote, especially for what Mr. Podesta says. Here is Mr. Podesta's resume.

Before becoming President Clinton’s Chief of Staff, Podesta served as both an Assistant to the President and as Deputy Chief of Staff. Earlier, from January 1993 to 1995, he was Assistant to the President, Staff Secretary and a senior policy adviser on government information, privacy, telecommunications security and regulatory policy.

Bush went across the street, Clinton across the hall. What difference does it make? Mr. Ignatius missed this for all his inside the beltway wisdom. As the title of my post says, its like the pot calling the kettle black.
