Jesus H. Christ on a stick.

I know that the undeclared (at least officially) goal of the Washington Post is to bring this President to his knees. But can we at least leave his goddamn kids out of this? When Slick Willie was in office his daughter was declared off limits by all major media. Hell even Rush Limbaugh refused to take shots at the First Child. The Post needs to extend the same courtesy to the Bush girls.

Fire away at Rummy. He’s a public official and fair game. The Big Donald knew what the hell he was getting into when he signed on for this job. After all, being the SEC DEF is not the first time he’s rode a bull in this town’s rodeo.

A valid public debate about the way he has performed and his merits is a good thing. But the question I’ve got for William Arkin is who do you suggest for Rumsfeld’s replacement, David Ignatius? Or maybe Broder?

Shit, you guys need to give it a break. Six retired generals have an ax to grind and are going about it in a very un-military way. Officers are expected to be professionals even when they retire. These guys must have forgotten that. Besides, has anyone stopped to ask if they might have some hidden personal agenda? Maybe like trying to deflect some of the blame away from themselves and the mistakes they made?

Are there problems in Iraq now? The answer is yes. Does all the blame fall on one man? Hell no.

I’m out for the night.
