Dunn to Step Down as White House Communications Chief
Quote:
Dunn to Step Down as White House Communications Chief

White House Communications Director Anita Dunn will step down by the end of November and be replaced by her deputy Dan Pfeiffer, Fox News has learned.

Dunn's departure had been expected as she took the position on an interim basis earlier in the year. The White House had long said Dunn would leave before the end of 2009.

But her exit comes at a critical time for the White House, with the administration trying to push the Senate to follow the House of Representatives' lead in passing health care reform.

Dunn, who has been a vocal critic of Fox News and last month accused the network of being a "wing of the Republican Party," will remain as an outside consultant to the White House and continue to be involved in strategy.

Just breaks my heart to see her leave.

Maybe she can get a job as a "common tater" on CNN.

So she was hired on interim basis, they've been saying she's leaving the whole time, and now that she's leaving, it's a surprise?

In this epic War of the WH vs. Fox News, Anita Dunn is like Patton. Or not. You see my point right?

Anita Dunn resembles George C. Scott.

Ultimately (technically) all jobs/appointments/positions are interim because we are all going to die......


In the case of Anita Dunn, there was an understanding that Obama would soon appoint a new person and that she was filling the post until that time. This is from April of 2009 when she was appointed:

Dunn to Be Interim White House Communications Chief
By Jackie Calmes

A longtime Democratic consultant, Anita Dunn, has been coaxed into joining President Obama in the White House, agreeing to be his communications director for up to several months until a permanent appointee is named, an administration adviser said Thursday.
