WASHINGTON (AP) -- Noelia Rodriguez, chief spokeswoman for first lady Laura Bush, is leaving the White House to work for California billionaire and philanthropist Eli Broad.

Rodriguez will leave her White House post, where she has been communications director and press secretary to Mrs. Bush since the beginning of President Bush's term, to return to California at the end of the month, she said Saturday.

No replacement has been named.

Rodriguez will be Broad's chief of staff and director of external affairs for the Los Angeles-based Broad Foundations, which works to encourage and reward creative leadership at the nation's largest urban school systems.

7. Why does she need a spokesperson?

She rarely speaks. Gross waste of money - the position should be abolished and now.

9. What on earth were her duties?

Walk barney, come back, give Laura more pills, walk barney, come back, mix a drink for laura. repeat. Humor the village idiot when he stops by to snap Pickles bra and tell jokes that he blows the punch line on. Put up with his ravings when he complains that Dickie doesn't even tell him what contry they are invading this week.

6 years of post secondary education for this?
