Bush Not So Dumb

Many question why Bush would flip-flop on Rumsfeld. Only a week ago Bush said Rummy would be with us until the end. But Bush didn't expect to lose control of both the House and the Senate. He's in a pickle!

Afraid those Dems will go after Rummy, Bush preemptively struck him down first. This is how he won the votes that helped get him elected folks. Bush excels in taking the first swing at himself to deflate his opponents' arguments. Now he's done it again.

Nancy Pelosi would have fought the good fight to remove Rummy, so Bush did it for her. In the process, he saved Rummy and himself face. And now he can push through another of Daddy's Iran-Contra friends before the Dems take control.

Bush is not so dumb.
