Rummy

Don't be fooled into thinking the acceptance of Rumsfeld's resignation the day after the election was totally about a contrite President. This was a carefully orchestrated media event, albeit one I'm sure Bush preferred not to have. He thought they would pull it out, no doubt. But what better way to ensure the media didn't talk about the Demos 24/7? What took up the first 5 minutes of NBC news last night? Not the Demo victory. Rumsfeld's resignation. There's no such thing as bad publicity, folks.
