“A SERIES OF THOUGHTFUL DISCUSSIONS…” — by Steve Nadis
George Bush described his interactions with Donald Rumsfeld over the Defense Secretary’s imminent sacking as “a series of thoughtful discussions.” I wonder how that went. How’s this for thoughtful discussion: “YOU’RE FIRED!!!” Of course I’m sure that Bush, being loyal to a fault, did not pull off that line with the aplomb of a Donald Trump, who knows how to let someone go.
More likely, Bush said something different, more along the lines of: “Rummy, I love ya’ but yer killin’ me.” True to form, by “killin’,” Bush would be referring to the political toll Rumsfeld has exacted on him and the Republican Party–not all the American troops who died in Iraq, lacking sufficient equipment or manpower, in accordance with Rumsfeld’s brilliant war plan.

I thought just last week George was saying how his Defense Secretary was going to be there as long as he was. Talk about flip-flop. I guess he was for Don Rumsfeld before he was against him.
I never thought I would see the words “thoughtful” and “George Bush” in the same sentence. The sky is falling, the sky is falling . . .
Wow, look at that. You’re verification thingy told me that I typed it wrong four times and then went ahead and published my comment three times. Could this be an example of the generosity of Democrats towards us ordinary folk now that they are in power?
Democrats take over both the House and the Senate, Rumsfeld “resigns”, and now Bolton is facing the axe. Somebody pinch me–I’m dreaming!
Wait–don’t. If I am asleep, this is the best dream I’ve had since that one in high school with all 3 of Charlie’s Angels, a tropical island, and four gallons of tanning oil…
I promise not to burst your bubble, Gatemouth. Thanks Roses for your generosity. He’s normally too consistent, Doc; I’m glad he made an exception in this case.
