Rumsfeld steps down

[yeartolate]

CNN just reported!

 

[DISUNC]

SO DID ABC news!!!!!!

 

[Skatermom23]

Wow your fast...it isn't even on their webpage yet!

 

[yeartolate]

Vacation planning with CNN on......

I think this is the right thing at the right time. Happy Trails to Rumsfeld.

 

[yeartolate]

Why do I get a sick feeling......who will replace him????





Dare I dream for Powell to return?

Ok...now, if KKKarl Rove gets arrested this afternoon, I'll know this is some kind of dream!

The funniest part is, if he'd done this a week ago, Republicans probably would have won the election last night.

Who does everything think will be his replacement?

 

[jakenjess]

The news just keeps getting better! Now for that Virginia senate seat.

 

[yeartolate]

I will second that.

But who to replace

Well at least the Democrats will have a chance to approve or disapprove and have their vote count.

 

[Missy1961]

Can't say I'm surprised. If I could predict this (as I did to my father this morning), it was so obvious (I am not a great political mind).

 

[yo-ho-yo-ho]

Cheerio !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Fitswimmer]

That's the first thing today that has made me smile!

 

[jenimay]

I agree, it's a happy day!

One name being mentioned to replace Rumsfeld is Bob Gates, former CIA chief.

But will Bob Gates get confirmed through the Congress?

I have no earthly idea who this guy is - I am sure someone out there knows who is in the know.

I saw NBC break in with that headline and about peed my pants. This is the first time in 6 years that I've actually felt HOPEFUL. It's BEAUTIFUL! FINALLY - we again have a system of checks and balances.

Bush just said he thought they'd win yesterday and said, "shows what I know!" I started laughing and said, "yeah! Remember that buddy!"

I'm actually giddy right now.

Bush just said he has 25 years experience in National Security and is PResident of Texas A&M (I think? A Texas university.. . pretty sure he said A&M) I don't know anything about his politics or background though. I'm sure the news stations have people digging already.
