JUST F'N DAMN. Why now? We lost the F'n election, this makes no sense! Had he resigned last week, well that would be different. I would not have been in favor of that, however.

Before the election, it looked like the GOP could hold the Senate, and Rummy could wait until next year. Now, he has to resign right away so Bush can get his replacement through a majority-Republican Senate in the lame-duck session.
