For instance, last week the rumor was that Will Ferrell had died in a hang-glding accident.

Yep...reality is Bin Laden died in a hang-gliding accident; just goes to show how these rumors mutate as they're passed around.

Rumour has it that Islam is a religion of peace.

If it's Rumsfeld resigning, that's nothing to get excited about.
I hope it's good news.
Rummy did err with boots on the ground initially though.

Been trading for many years...fail to see how any rumour concerning Will Ferrell would have currency market impact...btw, had associates in London on 9/11 who knew more about what was happening in realtime than any of the news agencies at the time...

Yeah, I hope the rumor about Rummy is just wishful thinking on the left's part.

I think the News conference is part of a planned WH effort to get its message out. "A series of speeches" was the term used in a McClellan presser from last week.

For what it's worth, I agree. This seems part of a planned-in-advance effort to get beyond the beltway and go over the media talking heads to the American people.

From NBC e-mail Alert:

With Congress scattered far and wide and the initiative his for the taking, President Bush will hold a news conference at 10:00 am today, his first since January 26. Sandwiched as it is between two big scheduled speeches on Iraq this week, it's possible that this news conference will be an effort to address matters of domestic rather than security policy, such as the strong US economy, a story the White House continues to have trouble telling, or the troubled Medicare prescription-drug benefit that congressional Democrats are targeting with town halls during the break.

After the news conference, Bush will meet at the White House with newly elected President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia at 11:10 am, and with representatives of Iraq and Afghanistan non-governmental organizations in the Roosevelt Room at 1:55 pm. Vice President Cheney, meanwhile, travels to Scott AFB in downstate Illinois for a briefing by TRANSCOM (i.e., Transportation Command) Commander Gen. Norton Schwarz at 11:20 am ET, followed by a speech on Iraq and the war on terror at 12:35 pm ET. Per the Almanac of American Politics, Scott AFB is the largest employer in southern Illinois.

I was listening to Hannity yesterday and he's driving me crazy with his criticism of Dems' "demoralizing the troops".

While I agree they may be doing that, their strategy is to demoralize the AMERICAN PUBLIC, not the troops. THey could care less what the troops think (unless they start complaining about Bush). They want Americans to demand an end to the Iraq mission.

I'd like to see Bush tell it like it is (and have someone at the WH contact Hannity to set him straight). The only way for the enemy to prevail is for America to lose its resolve.

It may seem like a small matter, but it's too easy for Dems to answer the troops charge: "We support the troops...we want them home". It's harder to rebut the charge that they're deliberately trying to undermine public support.

It's to announce the "Fred Barnes shuffle". Rumsfeld resigns, Cheney resigns but is nominated for Sec. of Def., Condi Rice is put forward for Senate confirmation as the new VP and Joe Lieberman is named Sec. of State.

Barnes was spouting that silliness on Fox and Friends this morning.

Pundits have been spouting it since halfway through GW's first term. They are as bad a retreading as Hollywood is with movie remakes.


If the GOP loses the House in 06, GW will have a whole new set of problems that will dog his remaining two years.

It wouldn't have any currency market impact, but it was a rumor floating around nonetheless.

Fred Barnes was pushing hard yesterday for an administration shake-up. Not to get rid of anyone, just move them around. His reasoning was sound. Throw a bone to the media and have them chew on the changes, get attention off the war. Not bad reasoning. He had some very reasonable suggestions. It included making Condi VP, Cheney Sec of Defense and Rumsfield Chief of Staff.

The president is giving a lunchtime three-years-later speech in Cleveland.

I can't see the President announcing a Cabinet resignation except from the White House. I don't see him doing it at a presser outside of Washington.
