Ha ha...how original. Why are we doing this? Why are you trying to weaken this President more. Can't you see what's happening out there? The more we mock this President, the more the left gets bold. God help our troops.

No, Greenspan's term ends January 31, 2006. It's time he's headed out to pasture.

Greenspan's term is ending. He's in his 70s and probably wants to retire. The down side is that he has to spend his retirement with wife Andrea Mitchell. (shudder)
