Bush asks Rumsfeld to tender resignation

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

That plus plummeting gas prices (in reality down fifty cents in less than three weeks, and no signs of slowing down)

Would equal one hell of an October Surprise, non?

I'm just sayin', watch for something dramatic in the next week or two. Will they suddenly switch to "benevolent" to lure the sheeple back? Perhaps even announce a timetable for withdrawal? (Not likely, but watch the lemmings stampede if it were to happen...)

You can almost smell it in the air. If they don't do something, they're history. And they do NOT want that to happen.

1. You tease!

If only.

2. I'd love to see Bush try...

Cheney would probably take him out back for a spanking

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

3. He already did.

But Rummy turned him down.

8. Don't you have that bass-ackwards?

I thought it was Rummy who wanted to resign, but Bush refused to accept it.

Or is my dyslexia again showing?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. You've got who's in charge bass-ackwards.

No offense.

4. I don't think they have a leg to stand on. Anything they do will be

seen as pandering, as usual, to everyone. All hat, no cattle.

5. Oh, no, not another tease

I get enough teases from network news.

[Jazzgirl]

6. Oh that is so not fair!!!!!!!!!

I thought this was for real!!!! I hate when that happens!

7. It Will Be Seen As Running For Cover, Running Scared, Running Out of Gas

Failure

9. I thought that by early October

rove would paint the democrats as insane war mongers wanting to keep our Soldiers on the ground in Iraq forever and that the only way to find the path to peace was to follow the thoughtful and introspective leadership of george dubya bush. We would be told that he has grown out of the drug addicted days, and he truly regrets that people think he actually deserted his military teammates to avoid a drug test and the insider trading thingy at harken was just a misunderstanding and a mistake that someone else made; and bush takes full responsibility for all the "bad" intel provided him by subordinates that led us to war in Iraq. A fucking smorgasbord guaranteed to sate the appetite of any lemming.

10. Gas prices, probably. Rumsfeld, no.

Rumsfeld resigning wouldn't help because it would be an admission that the administration was wrong and the Democrats who called for his resignation were right. It is much more likely that another "number 2 man" will be caught or another "terror plot" by a group of half-wits without passports or a map will be foiled.

11. Even a moran knows when it's time to shift gears

when the engine is over-revving.

They may be dumb, but they ain't stupid!

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Does Pres. Cheney know of this?

I'll bet not.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. No

Gas prices may put people back to sleep, but anyone who is politically aware enough to even know who Rumsfeld is wouldn't start supporting Republicans just because Bush got rid of him. And the freeper backwash would be pissed off if Rumsfeld left, because they wouldn't get to get raptured and beat up on carpetheads anymore.

15. Gas is down 50 cents a gallon??? Where? In Orlando it is $2.84

...per gallon down from $3.05 three weeks ago. That is only $0.21 down from the peak this past summer.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

17. In Dallas it's $2.53 as of this afternoon

That's almost exactly fifty cents down- in some places it was at $3.10 for a while.

16. You really think Chimpy is in charge?
