Rumsfeld Resigns as Defense Secretary After Big Election Gains for Democrats - New York Times

Finally! The sad thing is that it didn't take an incompetent Iraq policy or the deaths of countless U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civillians. It didn't take the mucking up of procurement policy or the generals practiaclly rebelling. It took the election of a bunch of "whining" Democrats? I'm a little befuddled. It's good that he's finally done, but at the same time a little weird. Obviously he's the first casualty of the Dems winning the House, but what else. Still in shock.
