Judging by the speed with which the Administration announced both the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld and the nomination of Robert Gates to replace him, I’m wondering why they couldn’t have done this… oh… maybe a week ago… It seems like that might have been helpful…
Look, I understand loyalty. It’s admirable. You should have your friend’s back. This, however, passed from the sublime to the absurd some time ago. The loyalty shown to Rumsfeld may never be equaled on this planet again.
