I think Rummy is gone within a week-- hell, it might be today.

[trumad]

I also think they will approach Lieberman for the job.

They will do anything to keep subpoena power away from the Dems. They got a lot to hide.

[Rick Myers]

1. Interesting point!!!

[JHB]

2. No, if he does go they'll do some tail-covering first.

If nothing else, they'll need a few minutes to draw up his presidential pardon.

[JHB]

9. Jeez, spoke too soon.

But I'll bet he still has his Imperial Warrant Presidential Pardon in hand.

[Dinger]

3. Gergen Said Something About That On CNN Yesterday

He seemed to think it was a reasonable possibility.

[CottonBear]

4. Is the CT Gov. a Democrat or a Republican?

Who would be appointed to fill Lieberman's term or would there have to be a special elelction since his new term has not yet started.

5. Republican

For what it's worth, she is a liberal Republican though. At any rate, Holy Shit isn't going to give up a cushy six-year job (now arguably the most powerful person in the Senate) for a two-year stint cleaning up Rummy's mess in Iraq

[MADem]

6. Interesting scenario. They gotta get the GOP guvnah to go along, though and appoint a diehard GOP

type. As opposed to someone who is a bit more independent-minded, like, say, Lowell Wicker, who might not "solve the problem" as it were.

And hell, if Joementum left, I'd think the electorate would be appalled after he put the state through that shit.

But your scenario is evil, and nerve inducing...and knowing what we know about these bastards, more probable than we might want to think!

The only thing is, the bulk of the investigations would take place in the House...the prime reason for having the Senate is to fuck us vis a vis the Supremes...and with the rumor of Justice Stevens being ill, that could become an issue.

Of course, when it comes to lousy votes for Justices, Joementum could be as good as a Republican....

[LSK]

7. no way

At least not today. I think he survives at least until next year.

[Window]

8. OMG.... As I'm reading this, CNN just announced Rummy

is stepping down! You are good!

Wonderful breaking news.

[Canuckistanian]

10. Rumsfeld won't last

Our CBC radio made the point that Rummy knows he won't get the BILLIONS he wants from an unfriendly Congress.

So he'll probably go, rather than remaining a lame duck SecDef.

And you know his ego won't allow that.

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

11. You're Way Off Base On This Prediction...

It'll Never Happen.

What's That?

He Just Resigned?

Never Mind.....

:-)

[Generator]

12. You are one of the biggest cynics here as am I

The world is looking changed overnight. Well, so FAR so good anyway.

[KayLaw]

13. Trumand is psychic!

Good call!

[Reciprocity]

14. Please give me the next winning Mega Million numbers?

[Buttercup McToots]

15. WOW

yer good!
Half right...

[trumad]

16. Sound of a clearing throat.

:-)

[Canuckistanian]

17. trumad has spoken. We listen now.

Psst, what you got for the 4th race in Belmont tomorrow?
