Counting
Let's count what's happened since the November election: 1) Nine of Bush's 15 Cabinet leaders have quit his Administration, except the one who should have as 2) Bush pledges to keep Don Rumsfeld, who won't support our troops in Iraq with the armor they need and then mocks them when a soldier asks him about it; while 3) Bush's mob-connected nominee for Homeland Security has to withdraw because he didn't follow immigration and tax rules for an illegal nanny, and 4) Bush pushes a scheme to financially and morally bankrupt Social Security by funneling tax money earmarked for our retirements to risky stock market accounts.
Meanwhile, 5) the Bush- and Republican-run federal government is still more than $430 billion in debt, 6) Bush still hasn't answered questions about why he walked away from his own National Guard service and 7) 175 more American soldiers have died in Iraq since Nov. 2, bringing to the total to nearly 1,300 deaths. 8) Bush hasn't even been inaugurated for his second term yet, but count me 9) unimpressed.

Hey, Eric,
But I'm very hopeful, lately, that Rumsfeld has gone too far this time, and he's going to have to be dumped. I just don't think he can weather this one out. The thing I can't wait for is to hear the spin Bush puts on it when it happens. He's never admitted a mistake, either by him or by any of his mob, so somehow I'm betting he's going to make this, once again, someone else's fault--how about the army's? Or, in particular that nasty Tom Wilson that asked the question in the first place?
