Bush Taps Gillespie To Replace Bartlett

In other White House news...

Ed Gillespie, former chairman of the Republican National Committee and current head of the Virginia Republican Party, is President Bush's pick to replace outgoing White House counselor Dan Bartlett.

In a brief press announcement following a lunch meeting with both Gillespie and Bartlett, Bush said of his new hire, "He is a seasoned hand who has got excellent judgment. He's a good strategic thinker that I know will do a fine job."

Bush did not take questions on the dominant Washington story of the day, the subpoenas issued to two of his former aides.
