Okay - a week ago Bush is saying Rumsfeld's here to stay. This afternoon, Rummy's gone. And Bush says it's been in the works since last week. Is there ANYTHING this guy WON'T lie about?
First, if it is true, Bush has again told a bald-faced lie to the press corps. (Remember his secret trip to Iraq a while back? Totally misled the press corps for more than 48 hours.) And despite what your political beliefs are, the president of the United States should tell the truth when talking to the press or anyone for that matter (and yes I include Bill Clinton in that standard) or just frigging keep their mouth shut.
Second, if it's not true, how sophomoric can you get? The American public spoke volumes yesterday - and the results have restored my faith in the collective wisdom of the American voting public. There's been little to hold on to the past six years, believe you me. I'm sorry they were a little slow on the uptake - we could have used this direction two years ago. So it got here late, but it got here nonetheless.
And now it's up to the Democrats not to blow the opportunity they've been given. When all the celebrating stops, they're going to realize they've inherited one of the worst messes in American history. Hooray.
But as Harry Reid said, if the ONLY thing that's accomplished is Rumsfeld's resignation it's been a tremendous achievement - but as Reid pointed out, it won't be the only thing. Hope he's ready to make that statement come true.
