    Unbelievable

    "To my knowledge, I did not make decisions about who should or should not be asked to resign," he plans to say.

    Is he actually going to say this? Is he suggesting that someone else might know better than him? That -someone else- might be making his decisions -without his knowledge-?

    The idea that didn't know about the dismissal of more than a tenth of his immediate subordinates is ludicrous. And if, in some strange alternate universe, it were true, it would be damning evidence of total incompetence.

    Either way, that statement should be enough to send him on his way. We can't shut up about this scandal until he's gone, and the Senate can't agree to appoint anyone that Bush even knows.
