Boy, the Avignon president is a really classy guy:

If you’re going to fire someone, you want to make sure you do it in a place where the now-unemployed can’t make a scene.

You know…a place like, say, a church.

That, according to a new book – “Machiavelli’s Shadow” – by former Time magazine reporter Paul Alexander, is where President George W. Bush informed trusted advisor Karl Rove in 2007 that his services would no longer be needed at the White House.

“On a Sunday in midsummer, George W. Bush accompanied Karl Rove to the Episcopalian Church Rove sometimes attended,” writes Alexander. “They made their way to the front of the congregation. Then, during their time in the church, Bush gave Rove some stunning news. ‘Karl,’ Bush said, ‘there’s too much heat on you. It’s time for you to go.’”

It appears that Rove is a screamer, and Bush was afraid that he would be shouted at.

But according to the Republican party, Bush is really brave for sending soldiers to die in Iraq.

Pathetic.

Boy…Firing a man in church because you were afraid he would be angry with you? Bush is one classy dude.
