Man, what a great day for Democracy!  If only Bush had fired Rumsfled back when Slate started the Rumsfeld death watch back in 2001, the Iraq War — and the last five years with it – might have gone a whole lot better than they have.  Of course Gates, the person replacing Rumsfeld, was not even in the list of people Slate thought might replace Rumsfeld.

The funniest part?  After spending five years projecting that Rumsfeld will resign, Slate made an about face moments before their badly needed hope prediction came to pass.

Donald Rumsfeld had a great parting quote: “I have benefited greatly from criticism, and at no time have I suffered from a lack thereof.” Apparently this quotation comes from Winston Churchill.
