Could they really seek to replace Rummy with Wolfowitz? It's not only the press, I think Congress is pretty fed up with him and his nonanswers on the budget and troop drawdown issues. But maybe I'm imagining bipartisan displeasure based on a few isolated GOP quotes.
Anyway, his comments are even more funny in light of the FNC article posted yesterday on how great things are in Kabul. I guess stay-in-the-safe-area reporting is still welcome sometimes.

Anyone see The Daily Show last night, covering GWB's comments? I've decided that their picking on GWB for adding an "f" to Abu Grahib was patently unfair, and in solidarity with him, I'm gonna use that pronunciation for a while.
(The pause before adding "situation" was nice, though.)

Yeah, the pronunciation teasing may have been unfair, but that pause was entertaining on its own. The annoyed look on his face as he started to squeeze out what sounded like "scandal" but then morphed into "ssssituation" was priceless. I almost expected him to call an audible and spit out "the abu garef......ssss.....shitburger" instead.
