MSNBC Gasbags Calling Rumsfeld Firing A Bush Coup
Their argument is that by firing Rummy the Bu$h administration is taking the spotlight off the election massacre..

That's akin to arguing that a teenager made a wise move by wrecking his parents' car to make them forget he stayed out all night with it...

2. If Bush had fired him last week ...
there may not have been an election massacre! Let them spin it anyway they want - it won't change the fact that WE WON! :evilgrin:

3. But it has taken the spotlight off.
No one is talking about the election anymore.

It's the grassroots that matter now...

14. Nora O'Donnel should just send Bush her panties and be done with it
She can't stop gloating at what a brilliant move this was on behalf of Bush. She had the audacity to say Bush replacing Rummy undercuts the dems.
