So what. If Jo Ann Davis wants to do something for America, she should call for Bush’s impeachment, and criminal indictments for the rest of these psychopaths.
August 12th, 2006 at 2:40 pmCommunist. Taliban. Pol Pot lover. Jihadist. Insurgent. Saddamite. White flag waver. Coward. Un-American. Turncoat. Capitulator. Accomodationist. Traitor. Drunk. Whore.
Is there anything I have left out?

August 12th, 2006 at 2:41 pmThat is nice, but Rummy is a pal for life of VP Dick Cheney, so he prevents Rumsfeld from any pressure to resign > sad but true!
August 12th, 2006 at 2:45 pmSo now elections are coming up the rats are deserting the sinking ship. I have more respect for the true fascist than the weasel that changes their mind because it is politically expedient.
August 12th, 2006 at 2:48 pm**crickets**
August 12th, 2006 at 2:50 pmWhat is this like the 99th time somebody’s asked Redrummy to resign?
August 12th, 2006 at 2:53 pmNo shocker that he’ll not only stay, but bastards are coming to his defense.
never mind resign he should be in jail forever
August 12th, 2006 at 2:57 pmThe continuing MYTH that the US will, with this government, EVER leave FORMER-Iraq continues to bleed like GFH Bush’s nose after he does a faceplant on his Schwinn.
Don’t kid yourselves, though. Rumsfeld WILL leave, in December or January.
And Don Lieberman will take his place, if there is a Diebold fluke and he ‘loses’ his fake Fall election.
He will pile the dead Arabs around his fake grin, and pick his teeth with someone else’s finger.
August 12th, 2006 at 3:02 pmSIGH… My goodness…
August 12th, 2006 at 3:03 pm#8: “And Don Lieberman will take his place…” – - Is he Joe’s alter ego?
August 12th, 2006 at 3:04 pmMaybe Don in Don Lieberman is intended as in Don Corleone?
August 12th, 2006 at 3:15 pm#11: “Maybe Don in Don Lieberman is intended as in Don Corleone?” – - Geeze, as a half-Italian I’m offended and I’m guessing the Sicilians ain’t gonna like that comparison none too much either.
August 12th, 2006 at 3:23 pmI give Rep. Davis exactly 48 or less before she “takes back” these comments and says she was “taken out of context.”
Don Rumsfeld is the face of Bush’s failure in Iraq–if he is forced out–that failure falls right into Bush’s lap–where it should be today. Rumsfeld is such on old, out of touch hack I honestly believe he thinks things are “OK” in Iraq. It seems fine every time he sneaks in and out of the Green Zone to see how many flavors of ice cream they have there.
August 12th, 2006 at 3:25 pm“Bring our babies home”?
The least you republicans can do is once our babies are home, is pass a law where they can buy a beer.
August 12th, 2006 at 3:34 pmLiberman is Fredo. He aint no Don. He’s a shlumpy 3 time loser that the national Bush/Coulter Republican Party want to prop up as some sort of an example.
The Bush/Coulter Republican Party is beginning to act like losers and now they are hanging out with losers.

August 12th, 2006 at 3:47 pmIt would appear that the rats are jumping from the burning ship.
I would imagine that there will be a lot of this type of stuff happening between now and election time.
The republicans were caught trying to take credit for foiling the latest terrorist plot. The politicians in Britain didn’t even take credit. They gave all the credit to the people responsible for stopping the attacks, the police and intelligence agents that did the work. The world saw the republicans try and take credit for this win and the world said “WTF?”
Bush’s bullsh!t is being seen as what it is and it is starting to be published for what it is. Things are looking up.

Except for the ones “stuck in the hold” by their continued support for War Prez. Those rats will smell the scummy bilge and try to stay dry by taking ever-loftier rhetorical positions – until the end of October when the electoral water’s above their heads. Then they’ll bite and claw each other trying to survive, paniced because the “base” isn’t large enough to support them all, or save them from political demise.
August 12th, 2006 at 4:55 pmBarfly,
Exactly.
August 12th, 2006 at 5:00 pmCan we swap Joe Lieberman for Rummy if we give the latter some kind of pretty medal that he can wear?
August 12th, 2006 at 6:42 pmHey…did anyone catch this from the article?
Hasn’t Bush repeatedly said that neither he nor anyone else in his administration has ever indicated Iraq was involved?
August 12th, 2006 at 6:56 pmyes, wc… even worse, it states: Like others in Congress at the time, Davis was shown…
hmmmm… seems mr. hodges has interjected some kind of false information, and a bit of opinion?, into that article… hmmm…
August 12th, 2006 at 7:25 pmLet’s see, does this deck chair go to the left or the right of this deck chaise lounge??
August 12th, 2006 at 8:02 pmHmm..Blub blub blub….
you need to fix your background gradient and make it a little longer so you don’t get that line thing.
August 12th, 2006 at 9:43 pmAsk for Rummy’s resignation? Tsk, Tsk, such impatience. I know that it’s very complicated but let me explain so that you’ll understand…..Rummy is doing a “heckofa job” Now there don’t you feel ashamed? That’s what I said, a heck of a job. Hell by the end of this year he should have brought the US military to its knees.
August 13th, 2006 at 2:37 amGood job Jo. Now you are eligible for a batch of my fabulous chocolate chip hash cookies.

August 14th, 2006 at 3:08 amTurs out Jo Anne Davis was just joking…
Davis isn’t pushing Rumsfeld out August 14, 2006 12:50 am BY
CHELYEN DAVIS
A spokesman for Rep. Jo Ann Davis, R-1st, said yesterday she is not
actively calling for the resignation of Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld. Chris Connolly, Davis’ chief of staff, said news reports
indicating she was calling for Rumsfeld’s resignation misconstrued her
comments. The Free Lance-Star published an Associated Press story Sunday on
Davis’ comments.
Davis had spoken last week to members of the Hampton Roads Chapter of
the American Society of Military Comptrollers.
In that speech, she said of Rumsfeld, “He’s probably a nice guy, but I
don’t think he’s a great secretary of defense.”
She also said the one thing she agreed with Sen. Hillary Clinton about
was Clinton’s call for Rumsfeld’s resignation. Connolly said that was meant
as a joke.
Connolly said Davis would not be sorry to see Rumsfeld go, but that
she’s not trying to make that happen.
“For years now, Jo Ann has not had any love lost with Secretary
Rumsfeld,” Connolly said. “She still feels strongly that there have been
some mistakes made. But she’s not actively seeking his resignation.”
Connolly said that from Davis’ perspective, she said nothing new at
the Hampton Roads speech and her doubtsabout Rumsfeld’s leadership in Iraq
have increased.
“As the war has gone on, and we look back and see things we should
have done differently, one of the things is to follow Gen. Shinseki’s
advice,” Connolly said, referring to Gen. Eric Shinseki, Army chief of
staff before the war He said publicly that far more ground troops were
needed in Iraq. Rumsfeld fired him in 2003.
