Pres. Bush will hold 1 pm news conference. [significant announcement per Drudge]

FNC | 11/08/2006 | FNC

[Netizen]

President Bush: "I'm sorry I abandoned all my conservative principles and cost my party, and my country, a very important election. I am officially a lame-duck."

PS. Forget about that fence it isn't going to happen.

we need you for 2008!

[RightWhale]

Could be. The Cabinet should stay the course, but if some want out because it will obviously be rough sledding from now on, give them their gold watch and bu-bye.

[Toespi]

Dunno OV, but I can't see it happening.

[mutley]

"Rush speculates that it would be the resignation of Rumsfeld."

If that is it, I will promptly register Independent.

[fatima]

Cheney resigns to go hunting and Bush picks Santorum as VP.

[auto power]

If and only if President Bush states he wants to play "nice" with these stupid democrats....I'll never donate one more dime to the republican party.

[TomGuy]

The Dems win, so Bush tosses them Rumsfeld the next day, and thinks that will "calm them".

That from the Pres who demanded absolute loyalty. [Ask John Ashcroft about that kind of loyalty and what it got him.]

[Pirate21]

I think the vote for Casey was not so much that people loved Casey -- they don't -- they just wanted to boot Santorum out.

Cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

"Once, just once, I wish Bush would go on TV with a stack of Iraqi documents and clearly and methodically explain to the American people exactly what Iraq was all about."

Just thought this was worth repeating, in bold type.

[Perdogg]

I kind would like to see Rice go. She hasn't really made an effort to clean out State.

[Paperdoll]

Sob! We tried to tell them (the RNC), but they wouldn't listen.

[oceanview]

don't get me wrong, I agree with you, I don't see it happening either.

But I bet you this "comment" by Rush is moving through the "system" right now - he should not have said it, it will simply mean the MSM will be asking an endless stream of questions about it now.

Chris Matthews and Olbermann will spend their entire shows on it now.

[nutmeg]

Excellent post in #2!

[Perdogg]

I would love Cheney to be President. But not under this scenario.

[Pirate21]

Rush speculates that it would be the resignation of Rumsfeld."

That'd be atypically reactionary.

[ConservativeMind]

I agree.

Drudge header: WHITE HOUSE: PRESIDENT BUSH WILL MAKE 'SIGNIFICANT ANNOUNCEMENT' AT 1 PM ET...

[Could it be that the new comprehensive immigration plan will just simply be to erase the southern border and save the cost of building the fence? One never knews with this White House. It was strange that Tony Snow last evening says the Dem win will help 'comprehensive immigration' plans.]

[Perdogg]

I love Rummy, but if Rummy wants to leave let him leave now.

However this would beg the question, who, McCain as SecDef?

Another open seat in Arizona.

[dfwgator]

Rush speculates that it would be the resignation of Rumsfeld."

Replace Rummy with General Honore.
