Slave, it's hardly shocking that Not Me missed the point but from you I'd expect more.
I cited The Economist's call for Rumsfeld to resign or be fired because she asserted that "non-scandal" had not changed anyone's mind. Clearly, it changed the minds of the editorial board of the Economist, which was singing Rummy's praises before March. Presumably those people are not unique in the world.
If the question is whether that will change votes, that's an entirely different question. The answer being, who the fuck knows.
At this point, it's too late for Rummy to resign or be fired. He has cast his lot, and the Admin has joined him, in the "we're not responsible, it was just a few errant pig-fuckers from Appalachia who were acting against orders." It would be very difficult for Rummy or the Admin to change course now.
