Why Andy Card Didn't Get a Medal or a Promotion

He didn't screw up spectacularly enough. From Kurtz at WAPO:
As for Bolten, he may be a talented staff man, but let's face it. His promotion gives the Democrats a free pass to talk about how the guy who presided over huge budget deficits got rewarded.
UPDATE by Helmut (30 March):

JON STEWART: Joshua Bolton who has been working in the White House for Bush’s entire Presidency. He spent two years working under Andy card. The last three years he’s been in charge of the Office of Management and Budget.

In other words, he just gave a promotion to the guy who is in charge of our $9 trillion debt.

You know what? I really think if you walked into a cabinet meeting and started hurling your feces at the wall—Bush would name a state after you.
