- White House officials say the surprise departure last week
- of Ed Rogers, John Sununu's top political aide, is in part an
- attempt by the chief of staff to paper over his own mistakes.
- Rogers had built a reputation as Sununu's enforcer, and was
- expected to be his boss's eyes and ears in the 1992 re-election
- campaign. But the chief of staff alienated so many Bush
- supporters over the past five months that damage control became
- necessary. Exit Rogers. Already, Sununu is having trouble
- finding a replacement. Said one official: "Sununu has managed
- to poison relationships with a lot of people, mainly through
- Ed. So guess who goes? Ed."
