Both Newt Gingrich and Dick Morris have stated that had Bush removed Rumsfeld a month before the election, the Republicans would have kept control of the Senate and saved at least 5 GOP seats.

Thanks, Mr. President! And I do not appreciate how Bush told an "untruth" a few days b4 the election, and did a complete flip-flop one hour after speaking to Nancy Pelosi.

Journalists by nature shy from pinning the "liar" label on any political leader

Sorry but I couldn't get past this whopper.

"So you're expecting Rumsfeld, Secretary Rumsfeld, to stay on the rest of your time here?" asked Steve Holland of Reuters. "Yes, I am," the president said.
Expectations change. It's totally within his right to play his cards close to his chest, especially so close to the election. Did anyone listen to yesterdays press conference? All I can say is: Tony Snow for President!

Oh please! How many times have you seen a print journalist let his/her hair down on a talking head program and reveal his attitudes toward a particular politician? Lots of times. Yeah, they might not say 'liar' in a news article, but the word is thrown around in editorials & other forums like they have an endless supply of hand grenades.

It would be funny if it wasn't so bogus and sad.

Clinton lied under oath and the press yawned and said "it's just sex".

Bush withheld the details of his tactical staffing decisions from the press, and that's considered a major crime.

Both

Bogus

And

Sad

And had we removed Newt as Speaker long before impeachment, we might have saved at least 5 seats in the House in 1998.

Get over it, newbee. Bush's advisor's probably made the call. He was determined to keep Rummy, but he was probably the only hold out left. The man did what he had to do.

Rumsfeld was an excellent Sec. of State. Iraq wasn't going to be solved in a day and neither is the War on Terror.

Now with the Dhimmicrats in office the War on Terror probably will not be solved, but they will come to attack here as they know that terrorism works so well. Who knows? Maybe if the terrorists commit more acts of terror, then we will elect more Muslim CAIR members and Julius Streicher type anti-Semites (homo erotic pornographer, James Webb, uses the epithet neo con -- which is like the [k word].

Terrorism works wonders! In Spain and here, too.

This is crap.

As far as I am concerned, Bush, Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld should have just told outright lies to any journalist anytime they open their mouths. Just feed them complete crap and smile about it.

They get accused of it anyway. I hate, despise and have the deepest contempt for any branch of the media. There is one thing that makes me really perk up these days...

The Slow Death Spiral of the NY Times and the rest of them.

B.S. Cutting Rusfeld would have been played as a sign of weakness and doubt by the media. It would not have helped at all.

Oh, pleeeaaassseee. This is ridiculous. It's beyond absurd. Sure, Dubya is the first politico to say one thing and do another.

One month before the election there was nothing the GOP could have done to prevent what happened in this election.

Even if Dubya had resigned, it wouldn't have made a dime's worth of difference.

Easy to say two days later but there is no proof whatsoever that this would be the case.

Yep, it's all Bush's fault.

I hope you can detect the sarcasm in my post.

Journalists by nature shy from pinning the "liar" label on any political leader, but.......

Maybe, but lets not nit pick. Fabricator, fibber, prevaricator, storyteller,defamer, libeler (or libeller), slanderer; perjurer; distorter, falsifier; equivocator, palterer; gossip, gossiper, talebearer; charlatan, cheat, cheater, confidence man, counterfeiter, cozener, deceiver, defrauder, dissembler, dissimulator, double-dealer, fraud, hustler, mountebank, and pretender are all quite common for the liberal press if their target is a Republican.

I don't think removing Rumsfeld had anything to do with the result of this election. One man, and a patriot and a man who has devoted a lot of his life to us selfish people is not the major reason we lost. We are.

Not many options when you can't tell the press "None of your G-D business."
