Another rat flees Bush's sinking ship
Top Bush aide Dan Bartlett resigns
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Dan Bartlett, a member of President George W. Bush's Texas inner circle and an aide for more than 13 years, announced on Friday he is resigning as White House counselor effective July 4.
The most important White House insider to leave Bush's side since the resignation last November of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Bartlett said he had decided to get a less demanding job so he could concentrate on helping raise his three young children all under the age of 4.
