To be replaced with someone I've never heard of. Well, there you go.

Alas, the replacement was Secretary of Defense under Ford and head of the CIA under Bush Sr. I fear the ideology will not change.

*glee* West Wing icon lurve.

I <3 Charlie and Josh.

That is all.

I must be a political junkie. "Oh, yeah, I remember him [Gates]," was my response. :)

Here's some biased info on him. Guess he's an old cronie too.

Rumsfeld should have been replaced long ago. Sadly, the only reason he was removed today was because Democrates took over the House and he doesn't want them to breath down his neck on him. Oh well, I'm sure Dems will ask for more heads... I wonder if the incoming speaker can actually stop the revenge seekers.

You know, some outlets are reporting that this was planned a week or more ago. ~*o_0*~

Now, would you like to tell me how intelligent THAT was?

Jeez. "Rummy, you're doing one helluva job."

Yeah. Until you can be made a scapegoat. Good grief.

Little late to have Rummy be the fall guy when all the votes are already cast.

Or maybe Bush is letting Rumsfeld be the sacrificial lamb on the altar in front of all the newly-seated Democrats?

He's removed now while the Senate confirmation hearings are still Republican-controlled, so Gates can be a shoe-in.

Check out this bio on Gates to see why Bush selected him to replace Rummy.

Same game, different name.

It was just trying to look amiable. I loved Bush's speech about "The American Peopla have spoken--they want bipatrisan, ethical leadership blah blah blah"... So in the last vote, they Wanted torture, illegal wiretaps, secret prisons and high powered perverts waxing moral to the masses? Man you guys gotta read those propositions closer.
