2. Kettle, meet pot

There were a lot of people who thought TRENT should have gone too :)

I love it when repubes feast on one another :)

3. he wants rummy gone,

and to have strom thurmond resurected from the dead to lead a segregationist fight against those dirty muslims. :P


seriously though, its kinda nice to see some repubs turning on rummy.

7. I never cared for Lott, but I believe he is much better than Frist.

Frist is oily, slimy, two-faced, mean, butt-sucking, ass-kissing, and other things I can't print. Only the dumbest Tennesseans voted for him.

4. this is all coordinated

republicans are bad actors. Norman Schwarzkopf looked especially fake reading his lines on "Hardball."

6. With the purpose of? n/t

8. all the hawks look good bashing Rummy

all the hawks who were totally fucking wrong about Iraq can now look reasonable and thoughtful blaming Rumsfeld for everything that is going wrong in Iraq.

Look at Bill Kristol. Is it possible to be any more fucking wrong than Kristol? He should be banished permanently from the public discussion, he's the last person to be chiding anyone, but there he is, chiding Rumsfeld.

14. I dunno if they'd make Rummy the whipping boy

And would Rummy take the fall for Junior? Maybe so...maybe they're trying to pull a 'Tenet' with him

10. Coordinated? Yes.

But who is doing the coordination? Does Bush want to fire Rummy but is afraid to do it? So, they demonize Rummy through the back door, he looses public support and is forced to resign for the "good of the country". That would be my guess.

12. or keep him there

to continue to serve as a lightning rod. Give him some money, or maybe he doesn't even need money, maybe he likes being abused.

5. Huh. Who'da thunk it?

9. Night of the Long Knives
