But I find the news that Rumsfield is out, hours after the Democrats have regained a measure of control in the House (although the Sentate looks to be contested for a bit longer), gently ironic.

I take it Bush can no longer keep his wishful thinking from becoming an embarrassing comment.

“Days after saying Rumsfeld would be a fixture for the final two years of his presidency, Bush ended the storied political career of a man who became the face of US-missteps in an increasingly troubled occupation.” from: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20061108/ts_alt_afp/usvote_061108235628
