Bush last week said Cheney and Rumsfeld were staying on after the election

[beaconess]

And the morning after the election, he canned Rumsfeld.

Has anyone seen Cheney lately?

Hmmmmmm.

1. Flippity-floppity! nt

[acmavm]

2. KKKarl still had him convinced last week that the fix was in.

3. That was pre 7/7 thinking...

[beaconess]

13. Ha ha - that's really funny

[hwmnbn]

4. Lie number 4,327........

5. Okay...

[Lerkfish]

6. well, since Cheney has his hand up shrub's posterior and moves his lips

I don't think the ventriloquist's dummy is going to fire the ventriloquist.

[whyverne]

7. I can't believe that Bush is really that dumb!

If he was planning to get rid of Rummy anyway, why not do it at the most opportune time? That could have been the October surprise. I'll bet there's a lot of Republic operators that hate him as much as we do right now.

14. They have got to be FURIOUS

Some of these close races could have gone Republican if Bush had gotten rid of Cheney a week ago. These folks must be fit to be tied.

I heard one commentator say today that Bush's base "got played." Bush let them think that he was keeping Rumsfeld in order to get them to stay on the reservation when he knew all along that he was going to can him right after the election.

8. rumsfeld staying?

yea and baby bush got caught red handed in his interview today, out and out lieing to the whole world because he is simply too stupid to keep his own story straight!..

{i;e...when he decided rummy was to go}....
and oh!...i really dont care to ever see cheney!!!

[maddiejoan]

9. They were both doin' a heckuva job.

[NNadir]

10. In 2003, Bush said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.

He was also connected with Al Queda.

He said he would hunt down Osama bin Laden. He said he would "stay the course," and "Mission accomplished."

Nothing he says is true in fact.

[RedCloud]

11. It all depends how long "on" is!

;)

[kanrok]

12. To be fair to Shrub

Rummy did stay on after the election...for about 12 hours.

[damntexdem]

15. Well, Rummy did stay on after the election -- for about 12 hours.

But it won't be easy to get Cheney out of his spider hole.

[tyedyeto]

16. The puppet is not likely to get rid of the puppetmaster without a fight

17. When's Dick due back from his hunting trip anyway? n/t
