* to fire Rummy, raise taxes, pull 80% of troops out of Iraq? WTF?

[Faygo Kid]

1. Gary Hart to replace Rummy? Is that why he was such a crank on Colbert?

Wasn't it Monday night that Hart was on The Colbert Report? I thought he was just about the most humorless guest Stephen has ever had to endure, and I was surprised. Now it makes sense, if this is true.

2. That's gotta be a joke...

<snip>

Dana Hill of ABC News writes, "Mr. Bush's new spokesman will be Mike McCurry, who performed the same job for President Clinton and is close to White Houses Communications Director Nicolle Wallace." LINK

And the Wall Street Journal's Al Hunt scoops this, "Bush has told friends that Bolten's first assignment will be to come up with an exit strategy for getting 80% of American troops out of Iraq by September 1." LINK

The major shake-up and its changes come just in time for the White House, since House and Senate Democrats target what they call President Bush's "dangerous incompetence" on security issues while proposing what they call a "tough and smart" alternative at a 1:00 pm ET press conference at Union Station in Washington, DC.

6. The link to go to the NYT column at the abcnews site doesn't work.

Also, when I went to NYT & searched "Rick Berke" I got 0 results.

7. Why would they post an April Fool's three days too soon? That's

what I want to know.

8. If this turns out to be true,

somebody is going to have explain to me why any Democrat (outside of Lieberman or Zell Miller) would even toy with the idea of joining this gang of thugs.
