pelosi power

the incoming house speaker announced wednesday that the president could signal willingness to work across party lines by removing don rumsfeld.

later that day it happened, in spite of the fact that before the election the bush had said rummy would finish out bush's term.

thursday tony snow seemed to imply the switch was already in the works when bush said "nyet," but bob gates had not yet been offered the job, and the prez didn't want to appear poll-driven or anxious to win a few votes.

but he was willing to lie?!

i guess we little children wouldn't know what to do with the truth.
