Donald Rumsfeld Fired Up

Donald Rumsfeld F-I-R-E-D: Democrats ‘Thump’ The White House

Donald Rumsfeld was fired this afternoon. President Bush said it was in the works for weeks and had nothing to do with the ‘thumping’ the Republicans got last night. By the way, that was the President’s description. During today’s press conference Bush said.. ”.. the elections were close. The cumulative effect is a thumping. It’s a polite way of saying” well, they got their asses kicked.

Firing Rumsfeld was the Plan B; in order to not look powerless in the face of a Democratic win the Bush team cracked the “break in case of emergency” box to appear on top of things. You know, like they’ve been since the beginning of his term.. Bush: “I’m making a change at the Secretary of Defense to bring a fresh perspective as to what to achieve, what I think most Americans want, which is a victory. My point is while we have been adjusting, we will continue to adjust. Somehow it seeped in their [the public’s] conscious that my attitude was just simply ‘stay the course.’ Stay the course meant let’s get the job done. It doesn’t mean staying stuck on a strategy or tactics that may not be working.”

Isn’t it nice how the morning brings clarity to the mind? Things said and done under the influence are forgotten, meaning brought into focus.. “No, when I said F-ck You! I wasn’t saying Fuck YOU. It was a question, like.. Fuck You?!? Why would I insult you like that? Don’t be stupid.”

I hope you joined in on the fun. This year was the first time I ever felt the need to vote in a senate/congressional election. Thank President Bush for illuminating the need for having buddies up and down the corridors of DC to really make things happen for your party.

Now that the Democrats hold majority power, it’s time to make sure they follow through.

One of the indirect consequences of Rumsfeld’s dismissal will be the loss of a master tap dancer, the king of jazzy, impromptu riffs..

Whudat Familia I give you.. The Poetry of D.H. Rumsfeld

Happenings

You’re going to be told lots of things.
You get told things every day that don’t happen.

It doesn’t seem to bother people, they don’t -
It’s printed in the press.
The world thinks all these things happen.
They never happened.

Everyone’s so eager to get the story
Before in fact the story’s there
That the world is constantly being fed
Things that haven’t happened.

All I can tell you is,
It hasn’t happened.
It’s going to happen.

WAY too little way too late!!! The damage has already been done and we’re gonna pay for it for years to come. Many lives were destroyed due the arrgance and stupidity of this administration. “Firing” Rumsfeld is definitely not enough at this point. He still doesn’t think he did wrong, has shown no remourse and has made no public acknowledgement to the contrary. His firing is just a bunch of political fluff, he’s probably going to remain on taxpayer payroll and recieve all of his MANY benefits. This war is like a video game to him and Bush. I say pack Rum’s ass up and deploy him to Iraq for a few years of active duty and treat him the same way his dumb ass plan has treated our soldiers and the innocent citizens of Iraq for the last few years. F*CK BUSH!!!!

well poetry is going downhill…

I am sad to see him go. Have we all seen the conspiracy tape of the 9/11 attack on the world ( read: America )

Sad to see him go but he’s a pansy.. I think your estimation of events is probably ( sadly ) accurate. Quite the sagacious eye for corruption.. but I guess Americans are learning.

I think he should write a book.

Not poetry of course.

This motherf**ker is responsible for the deaths of many innocent people in Iraq as well as the poor souls who died on 9/11. An eternity of regret awaits!

solo una cosa non mi cvnnioce: questi power up presenti sulla pista che riparano l’auto in corsa secondo me potevano evitarli, giusto per dare un minimo di realismo.
