Rummy resigns... but what about this:

WASHINGTON Nov 2, 2006 (AP)— President Bush said Wednesday he wants Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney to remain with him until the end of his presidency, extending a job guarantee to two of the most-vilified members of his administration.

Now I realize Bush actually has no control over whether Cheney stays in office or not; Cheney was "elected," not appointed. But saying Rumsfeld would remain as Secretary of Defense "until the end of his presidency," meant, by my way of thinking, that the end of his presidency would be, well . . . today.

Anyway, Rumsfeld's greatness may not be recogized by historians for many years to come. Unfortunately, you sometimes have to go with the legacy you have, not the legacy you want.

Nobody I love should need this message.
