Update: Scott McClellan resigning…
White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday he is resigning, continuing a shakeup in President Bush’s administration that has already yielded a new chief of staff and could lead to a change in the Cabinet.
Appearing with Bush on the White House South Lawn just before the president boarded a helicopter at the start a trip to Alabama, McClellan, who has parried especially fiercefully with reporters on Iraq and on intelligence issues, told Bush: “I have given it my all sir and I have given you my all sir, and I will continue to do so as we transition to a new press secretary.”Bush said McClellan had “a challenging assignment.”
“I thought he handled his assignment with class, integrity,” the president said. “It’s going to be hard to replace Scott, but nevertheless he made the decision and I accepted it. One of these days, he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days.”

Lorie Byrd has more.
Also this: “White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove is giving up his policy portfolio…”
If this translates into the White House waking up on immigration enforcement, it’s a good thing. But I doubt that will happen…
VIDEO: Greg Tinti has a video, uh, tribute to McClellan.
Laurence Simon’s cats respond to the news.
