    @ Paul Daniel Ash

    [quoting the Instastoopid]: "And now keeping Bush’s Defense Secretary on."

    I'm currently reading Tim Weiner's "Legacy of Ashes" expose of CIA foibles over the years, and Robert Gates is in there. I really don't think it's a good idea keeping Gates on as Secretary of "Defense" (as we so euphemistically put it nowadays). The sooner he goes, the better, I'd say, and hell with "bipartisanship" and token Republican-appointed hangers-on....

    Cheers,
