Russert: A Source “Close to the President” Told Me Bush “Won’t Fire Rumsfeld Because It Would Be The Equivalent Of Firing Himself.” »
Tim Russert revealed two very interesting pieces of information this morning on Don Imus regarding the future of Donald Rumsfeld and his standing in the Pentagon:

1. After Rep. Jack Murtha appeared on Meet the Press and advocated troop withdrawal several officials in the Pentagon called Russert to tell him “Murtha is right.”

2. A source “close to the President” told Russert that Bush “won’t fire Rumsfeld because it would be the equivalent of firing himself.”

3. Again, more governance by pride than pragmatism...

"Will I lose my dignity
Will someone care
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?"

- from "Will I?", from the Rent soundtrack

7. A Howard Stern wannabe who chemically fried his brain years ago

he has zero audience but for some reson members of the beltway press fall all over each other to get on the show. Mostly its a place for NBC second raters like tweety to go on and pimp their books.
