Subtle gong alert, scrolled on the bottom of the screen.

..Godspeed Rummy...

[Truth29]

If the Rumsfeld resignation announcement is accurate, the way this is being handled shouts that Bush is on the Run. He might as well castrate himself on the air and hand the bloody rag to Nancy Pelosi. G*d, think about the confirmation hearings with a Democrat Senate!

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

Yup. And the people here voted Murtha in over Irey because they know the guy and didn't know her. They will go with the crook and traitor they know, rather than take their chances on someone they don't.

Goofy mindset in this part of the country.

I think I'm going to follow PD's suggestion and turn off the news for a while.

I think it's time to pull out my Pride and Prejudice mini-series and concentrate on Colin Firth. He is a worthwhile distraction :)

I don't think Rumsfeld was fired. it was likely his decision.

But if he was fired, then I pull my support from Bush. let him work for the next 2 years planning his library.

[spectre]

No, Abigail. No good can come out of this. It adds insult to injury on the day after our defeat. We've caved in..

It's suppose announced to be at the 1 pm news conference by Pres. Bush. I'm sure it will be everywhere. As a matter of fact, I'd bet the networks carry it. This is just too sweet for them not to cut into their regularly programming.

Rummy may be tired, and feels he's part of the problem. Sad.

[areafiftyone]

CNN (for what it's worth) Confirmed it!

[diamond6]

Good point, but the timing is too coincidental.

[RetiredArmy]

Rush announced Rummy to quit.

[rintense]

Considering that Nancy just had a presser and called for his resignation, it certainly looks like Bush is kowtowing to her.

[kevao]

RUMMY GONE. BILL COHEN TO REPLACE.

[areafiftyone]

Sad day! I am sooo discombobulated!

[twigs]

But Casey is a well-known name here. They didn't boot Santorum for the unknown, or so they thought.

[oceanview]

Rush is now going negative - saying if Rumsfeld is being handed over to the mob, its going to get alot worse before it gets better.

[Soul Seeker]

Ditto.

he can keep the New Tone, it's worked so well for him...

[rintense]

Bill Cohen?!?!?! OMG.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I don't care if Rumsfeld offered his resignation. You think he'd do this w/o Bush's encouragement.

I am SO done with George W. Bush. He has just added another demoralizing insult to our fighting men and women. He is a self-serving idiot.

These two years can't move fast enough for me.

[SeaBiscuit]

This is too much.. I'm really _flat.. depression setting in.
