Edited Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 10:07 AM Rumsfeld is about to resign!!!!!!! HELL TO THE YEAH I'm assuming he was fired. Bush is speaking right now, expressing his disappointment at the outcome of the elections. Iraq is probably the main reason for these Republican losses, so I'm guessing that Rummy was let go. Replaced by Robert Gates. He was the ex-CIA chief apparently, but I don't really know anything about him. Do you all know any info? —mandeemoo22 |

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 10:22 AM The dems have gained another seat in the Senate, so there is now only one more vote to decide. It's about time Bush decided to get rid of Rumsfeld. This is probably the best decision he's made. I just wish it didn't take this long for him to make it. —mandeemoo22 |

Edited Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 12:00 PM Anytime anything seems like it's too good to be true, it probably is. If Democrats start getting over-confident and cocky in response to this, something bad is going to happen. Stay on your toes, everyone. —ZT-In-Recovery |

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 12:15 PM He was the ex-CIA chief apparently, but I don't really know anything about him. He was around during the Iran-Contra thing, I don't think he's particularly well liked by the Dems, but it's so good to see Rumsfeld go. Mandee, I know you cast your vote for Cardin, we rock too hard, I think Va will put Webb into office too, and we'll have a nice thin majority in the house and senate (knock on wood). Anytime anything seems like it's too good to be true, it probably is. I think this is a turning point. I hope it is. The elections were a disaster for republicans yesterday, and a clear mandate that we don't want the war. This is why Rumsfeld is stepping down. —ProfessorCarbuncle |

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 12:52 PM Better news: "Donald Rumsfeld may be looking forward to living out his golden years at his vacation home on the Eastern Shore, but lawyers who represent detainees at Guantánamo Bay have other ideas. In a message just sent to reporters, they say they intend to file war crimes charges against Rumsfeld next week in Germany, arguing that his departure from the Department of Defense means that he's no longer entitled to immunity from prosecution." Rot in hell motherfucker. It's too bad because we're definitely winning the war with all that torture. —bguirk |

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 1:58 PM I skipped my classes today to watch CNN (I'm also sick though) and they seem to have been saying that Gates gets along with democrats. I may have imagined it because I also kept falling asleep and having fucked up dreams that I was working in Chuck E Cheese and Bush and Rumsfeld came in there to make their speeches. I was in the Chuck E Cheese costume too. It was all very bizarre. they intend to file war crimes charges against Rumsfeld next week in Germany, arguing that his departure from the Department of Defense means that he's no longer entitled to immunity from prosecution Now THAT would be too good to be true. —mandeemoo22 |

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 6:54 PM Anyone want to consider the fact that he's 72 Years Old? Most people are retired by then anyways. You're absolutely right, Andrew. I'm sure he was planning on retiring today anyway. Now THAT would be too good to be true. It'd be übersweet if it is true, though. Stay on your toes, everyone. Not much chance of that, I'm afraid :-(

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 7:32 PM The Republicans have now lost the Senate too. I'm so mad at myself for getting excited over this kind of shit because it just means that I'm a bad anarchist. —mandeemoo22 |

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 11:49 PM The thing is that a lot of the democrats that won are moderate democrats who replaced moderate republicans and there really isn't a huge difference. For the people who need it the most, I really don't see their lives changing. —mandeemoo22 |

Wednesday, November 8, 2006 at 11:52 PM I see minimum wage going up which is a social justice thing. Aside from that I agree. I don't think it'll be open season on torture anymore. —bguirk |
