The loyalty of Preznit Criminally Culpable to even his most morally-challenged aides and friends has never been questioned. The further someone is likely to take the fall for the Bush Crime Family, the more they are seen as 'good and loyal soldiers'. So I doubt that Preznit Intellectually Impaired will fire Karl without some cataclysmic event occuring. All that being said, how about if his security clearance were just pulled? I don't know who maintains them for the 1600 Crew civilian personnel, but couldn't Karls clearance just be pulled or at least downgraded to "confidential-noforn' or something? That would limit his usefulness and access to a good bit of the WH, without actually "firing" him. Yet.

Just askin'.
