So Long, farewell, auf wiedersehen , goodbye

One of the many great things about the Shrub Presidency has been his choices in high level officials. They're all so darn multi-talented, likeable and entertaining. Dick "Richie" Cheney doesn't just vice-preside, curse out senators, and hide in a burrow like a woodchuck, he shoots people in the face! Condi isn't just an airhead -- she's an airhead with a PhD, and she plays the piano! And how 'bout that Albert Gonzalez? Civil rights? Who needs 'em with old Al hangin' 'round. But the one I love the most, of course, is the one who's leaving. You know who I'm talking about. I'm talking about Rummy. 'Sfeld himself, the Ruminator, Don the mon Rumsfeld. The courtesy. The respect for other people's opinions. The willingness to spend other people's lives on pet theories and settling scores from the Ford administration. Could you really ask for anything more in a public servant? Well ask and ye shall receive. Turns out he's a denizen of the blogosphere, too. Why just take a looky-see over here (post number 8) and here (post number 3 and more)!

I was really afraid that we'd lose him to "spending more time with his family" once he left office, but I'm so glad he's decided to join us out here in cyberspace!
