Goodness Gracious!....He sucks at his job.

Am I a bush hater?....well, yes I am.

Do I send bush pretzels on a regular basis?.....of course!

Will I be the first one over the White House fence with torches and pitchforks if we don't win in '06?........You bet!

10. I'll have to wait until the first wave knocks the fence down
My health isn't what it used to be. Got the pitchfork, though. I also have my knitting needles ready in case tumbrils figure into it.

Stupid can't fire Rummy. He's based his whole administration on Rummy and Wolfowitz being right about the lessons of Vietnam and the road to Empire for the future. To fire any of those bozos would be to admit HE is wrong about something, and he's far too fragile to admit that.

Our best hope is to bring that home to him at the ballot box this year. If that fails, bring a bulldozer. It's the only way an old crock like me can join in.

4. Because the entire Pentagon hates his guts
But they're scared of him. If he was replaced, the replacement would be totally overwhelmed by an anti-Bush campaign. Bush can't afford to replace Rummy; he's the only person there who still supports the war.

5. Like all political appointees, he serves at the pleasure of the President
Until Bush decides he is a liability, he stays.

politically driven need to fire him or force a resignation. If it comes to it, he will be a sacrifice to the masses banging at the door.

9. I would imagine Bu$h,
would have a hard time finding someone to take that job. That would be funny if it wasn't so damn serious and sad, but he had a hard time finding a new Treasury secreter.

No one want to work for this failing administration, i'm surprised more cabinet members haven't quit but they still have time.

11. Rummy has been around a long, long time. He really has no skills except
didn't he play football or some sport? Rummy has to have enough on * and Cheney to put them both in the slammer. That is why * cannot get rid of him.
