Bush has made a practice of giving Democrats most of what they clamor for and invariably, Bush's magnaminity outclasses and stymies the tantrum throwing Dems.

Same thing will happen this time.

Rumsfeld will apologize, just as Bush did, but Democrats will not accept that (even though that's what they've been clamoring for). Dems will continue to rant and rave that it's not enough. They will look like sour faced 2 year olds. Kerry's starting to realize that this issue is taking ALL the attention away from him. He wants it to stop, but it's too juicy for the most rabid Dems to let go of it.

It will be okay. Wait and see.
