Rumsfeld is stepping down!!!!

I... I don't really know what to say. (Beyond "Woo hoo!" and "About freakin' time!") Talk about shock and awe.

I have been following two lines of thought on this developement. One: it is an effort to get the Democratic victories off the front page and top of the new broadcasts and Two: it just proves that Beloved Leader has failed at every single job he has had and has needed his daddy to rescue him (Gates is one of Poppy's men.)

I tried to listen to the press conference but the sound of that man-ape standing there in front of g-d and everybody, opening his mouth and letting all those lies flow out turned my stomach. How about that comment about how he 'tried to change the tone in Washington'? Ach. Calling your political adversaries traitors really sets a new tone, doesn't it?

I truly wish he and his revolting cabal would just quietly go away. I hear Paraguay is lovely this time of year. ;)

I think there is an option three: Bush knows that the House Dems are just salivating to get their hands on Rumsfeld and subject him to thousands of hours of brutal question, and he'd probably be forced out for his failures in the long run anyway. Might the resignation be a pre-emptive strike of a sort? Just a thought.

Since I am at work I was blissfully free from the press conference, but I got some choice tidbits reported to me. He is on the defensive for the first time ever and he is totally not going to be able to deal. I will enjoy watching the implosion.
