Will be next week, I bet.

Please be warned that I am batting .000 on politics.

1. I dunno
the smart thing would be for him to step down now. That way the videos and pics can be "blamed" on him when he's out of the administration.

5. He doesn't have a soul--so he couldn't have been crying
Must have been a bad reception or something.

6. You're right, Gin.
Especially if he's seen even WORSE photos. I can't imagine what could be worse at this point.

He should be crying. He said it's only a matter of time before they're released to the media.

7. He is too arrogant to really cop to it.
Do you really think he will resign? I see him as too arrogant for that. He knew full well what was happening, but if it comes down to it, I see him worming out of it.

8. Sen.Warner told reporters that there is AUDIO with some torture

videos...

that'll be the end of rumsfeld and hopefully, those senators who are still fully supporting rummy....


AUDIO and VIDEO sex-torture of POWs......may the screams of their torture victims haunt rummy AND every single congress person supporting these criminals today....haunt all of them for the rest of their lives and thereafter for all eternity....

11. Can someone explain why --
If everyone now seems to agree that these "worse" photos and videos exist, and that they will come out, why are they not out now. What is the mechanism that determines the timing on something like this? I feel as if we're being played somehow.

19. damage control maybe?
too much at once would mean it would go beyond rumsfeld... it would go all the way to the top, rumsfeld was using the excuse that he didn't think it was serious enough to tell shrub, if it comes out that there was sexual abuse/abuse of juveniles or female prisoners, or whatever is considered 'worse' than this, it will give him no excuse to have not told bush.

and that is bad in one of two ways, it would either say that bush knew about them, and he covered it up, OR that rumsfeld didn't trust bush, and that would just confirm what we have all thought all along, the fact that bush isn't really in charge. either way i think it wouldnt be good for bush and his boys...

just my 2 cents

14. No Frank, didn't you hear what he said?
He said he was sorry and that he will make it
all better now.
No need to follow the story further,
now, what's happening with Michael Jackson?
I wish the media would keep us informed about
things that are really important!
The Rumsfeld story is over, he said he was sorry,
and now he will be "effective" in the "tough tasks ahead."
So...Frankly Frank!
Did you see "Survivor" last night?
Anyone know when the Friends farewell show is on?
Which American Idol contestant is your favorite?
Isn't it cool that the Terminator is the Governer of California?
I'm bored, let's all go to the mall...
Rumsfeld? Who is he? Is he that rap guy with
the song about "Smack yo ho?" I love that song!
Where's my iPod?

22. I can't watch it either...
My kid pulls me in to her room sometimes
to see something on hers, but thankfully it
is always in the spirit of, "Mom, can you believe this crap?"
She is an artist spirit and observes what is on the television
for politcal commentary in her artwork.
Her latest, my fave, is a collage of anorexic models,
fad weight loss ads, starving children and photos
of obese american butts that she takes with a
digital camera at the local costco...hee-hee!
That's my kid!
So proud of her...

23. nicely done
noticing and altering propaganda is an invaluable tool.

the brightest student at the university where i work did a project on propaganda. he sees it so well now. he told me MTV will not run anything longer than 7 seconds without some cutting. i'm going to see it next week and probably post about it.

good kid you've got!

21. If Dukakis riding in a tank can up-end his campaign
what do you think children being raped, beaten and sodomized under Rummy's command will do to Bush?

I don't blame Kerry for taking a BIG step back from this slime. The evidence is so repulsive, that one doesn't want to be affected with its stink.

I'm hearing Rummy now babble on about some bullshit court martials and how the DoD is so big that he can't possibly know everything. What a bullshit excuse. I'm getting angrier the longer I listen, not assured, and certainly not pacified.

Rummy's gone, and he's taking Bush down with him.

26. I disagree. Rummy stays, they call us unpatriotic.
It will affect W's campaign, but not to the point of sinking it - Dukakis tank was more damning because of the....liberal media.
