LOL, one week after Dumbya's "Dumsfeld will serve until my term is up" the inane, inept and (possibly) insane Sec of Defense resigns.  I agree with irish_american_psycho who thinks this whole thing was a bet:  Dumsfeld betting his resignation that Republican keep control....and he lost.  Either way, with Dumsfeld out, the US Armed forces can now really win the Bush War in Iraq and begin a true War on Terror.

I think for the last year President Bush has been the fall guy for Rumsfield but loyalty is high on his agenda. His administration has more friends than many think - the election is over & to take the next election will require unity. We proved every man for himself did not work. The ranks will close. My state went 82% Republican including several Democrat seats to state Senate & House. We split our national House seats. Conservatives & Moderates will learn the Democrats do not speak for them. This could be a good thing - sacrificial lambs.

Unfortunately, the loathsome fat piggy-man who is karl rove will likely not be indicted (he'll certainly never spend a day in jail, which is where he deserves to spend ALL of his remaining days). I realize it likely came across as sheer spin when it was announced but I believe he relinquished some of his duties in large part to gin up the hateful ANP (my moniker for the GOP; I think you can guess what it stands for, literally) campaign to hold onto the House and Senate in the coming elections. Dirty, negative attack campaigns have been this swine's bread-and-butter for his entire wretchedly evil and deeply unworthy life. Honestly, he is one of a handful of truly evil people in this world over whose death I would quite literally celebrate by uncorking a bottle of champagne. I'm not proud to say that but my hatred for these despicable, criminal people who have caused so much death and destruction and trampled over our Constitution runs that deep.\n\nOh, and in answer to your titular question, while the vile rove resembles a particularly hideous suckling pig, he is not being slow-roasted. Alas, I only wish that it were so.

I think - hooray - one more gone - hopefully more and more will be let go now that Bush is going to have to face scrutiny for his grossly illegal acts.\n\nFP

Yes and they are starting to pay. DeLay just dropped out after his top aids started talking to prosecutors. Duke Cunningham is going to jail. Libbey is facing some serious charges and they are still investigating Rove. There are so many Republicans connected to Abramoff we'll be seeing trials and convictions for a long time now. \nThe Republicans will most likely lose their majorities in both houses this November. Sure there are some corrupt Democrats. The Republicans won the majority in '94 because of that. In twelve short years their corruption eclipses what they replaced by a long shot. It's time to clean house again. \nClinton lied about a private affair, which while immoral, concerned only his family. He admitted he was wrong and apologized. We're still hearing about it. Bush lied and led us into a war which has killed thousands, bankrupted the country, and $enriched Cheney and Co. He still has not admitted any mistakes or apologized to the families of the soldiers he killed.\nThis is just the tip of the iceberg. GOP=Culture of Corruption

There's no chance he will step down because it appears that legally he will be able to fight off the charges. It doesn't matter how many times he lies or distorts his statements to the public if he is not under oath.\nThe public should demand that his administration come clean on everything and not stand for any more distortions. Remember when he said he would not wiretap without warrants? Remember when he said the leakers would be dealt with?\nSean Hannity is trying to get out the far right vote in November because he fears that a democratic congress would impeach Bush. By implication, a Republican congress will not, regardless of what Bush does.\nAll I'm hoping for is that the media, the public, and congress will be more skeptical and that his seemingly unlimited grasp for power will be curtailed until we can elect someone else. The public in general is finally coming around; congress at least is no longer a monolithic force; but most of the media still love to spout the administration's talking points. Time for people everywhere to challenge the administration's assertions.

Officially Bush but. . .\nDick Cheney (Commander in Chief)

LMAO!!  The criminal republicans will go back to sexual harassment (ie Bill O'reilly) or Drug abuse (ie Bush and Limbaugh), they may resort to plagiarism (ie Ann Coulter) or blatant disregad of the Constituion (ie Bush and his criminal administration), or perhaps attempted murder (ie Dick Cheney shooting his friend in the face).  The bottom line is they will resort to some sort of unethical and hypocritical behavior.\n\nhttp://www.internetweekly.org/images/bush_walmart.jpg

It is not all Rumsfelds fault, but he had to go. The failed policy's of the Bush administration which he is one has got to be changed and this is a start. The election yesterday sent a message to Washington and I think that they might not be ignoring it this time. I think it is a change for the better.

I believe so.When five retired generals think he should go,that's a pretty good sign that he has not gotten the job done.Personally,I would have aked him to resign long before now.This war has been a farce.Our troops went in woefully unprepared for the combat they are now engaged in.We did not take the insurgents into consideration.Why not? Isn't that part of Rumsfeld's job? The sheer arrogance of this man is appalling.He ,like our president , will never admit to mistakes made.They just keep telling the American citizens to be patient.Baloney.There is no exit strategy now and who knows when we can expect any.We're in such a mess now that I don't know if there is a way out that will allow us to save face with the world or not.There is something wrong when practically all the president's cabinet and colleagues are at the center of controversy every time you turn on the television.

It better be Hillary!! the last thing we need is another wannabe Bush freak. I think this Country has suffered enough. haha

It's still a possibility in the US, I don't put anything past Bush and his goons. \n\nHe may be down, but not out.  Out for those bums mean death.  \n\nI'm sure as we speak they are planning their next move - who is the next most puppet-like fratboy who obeys his pappy's friends who can relate to the Republican constituents (read that redneck, inbred, trailer park, impressionable, reccessive imbeciles) without question.

I am with you girl, education is the key! It's all really obvious where the Bush administration has gone within the last 6 years. America will regain its self soon with the change of Congress. I am hoping for the start of quite a few investigations to move forward, with a new Congress.

Considering exit polls showed more people were concerned with the recent scandals than with the war, probably not...but it might have been closer.\n\nI have to admit I'm surprised to see changes happening so quickly though... apparently Dubya is not actually a president-shaped cd player with 'stay the course' stuck on infinite repeat after all. I mean this man has been beating his head against this particular brick wall for years now... while some 6 billion or so people throughout the world said 'Uh, buddy... you fu.cked up and this is NOT actually working' and all it took was a thorough official trouncing of the GOP to get him to realize that maybe SOMEbody ought to be looking for actual solutions. So I guess he's not entirely brain dead after all, but it still bears mentioning that my eleven year old niece was able to figure out that Iraq wasn't going very well quite some time ago.\n\nOf course it remains to be seen if anybody can really pull our collective American butts out of this mess, but at least we have some hope.

Bush is in so much trouble now in the world, with the huge deficits, his admin. scandals , indictments, maybe more to come, Libby, Delay, Goss quiting, no plan for Iraq pulling out, conservatives are attacking each other and now Dick Cheney sticks it to Russia, Iran with a Maniac government copy cats of Bush team, threats, scare tactics, what goes around, comes around.Who knows with this bunch at the White House, I think Bush would say or do anything to try to get his supporters back, even if he tries to nuke Iran, he has no one to support him now.
