Breaking news - Scott McClellan resigning

White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday he is resigning.

This is an important move and should have happened a long time ago. Not to kick a guy on his way out, but McClellan has been the least effective press secretary in my memory. It would have been too much to expect that he would be as good as his predecessor (Ari Fleischer), but at a minimum I expected someone who could effectively communicate the administration's positions and frame issues in a positive way. Too often he seemed overwhelmed and not in full control of the press room.
