See the duck limp.

Rummy's gone. The very same Rummy DOOFUS said would be there til the end of his term. And said it only a few days ago, seems like, no more than a week.

I suppose arresting him and shipping him off to Gitmo would be too much to hope for.

The new nominee is former CIA Director Robert Gates, a figure from the Iran-Contra era. From Wikipedia:
Gates consistently testified that he first heard on October 1, 1986, from the national intelligence officer who was closest to the Iran initiative, Charles E. Allen, that proceeds from the Iran arms sales may have been diverted to support the contras.2 Other evidence proves, however, that Gates received a report on the diversion during the summer of 1986 from DDI Richard Kerr. The issue was whether Independent Counsel could prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Gates was deliberately not telling the truth when he later claimed not to have remembered any reference to the diversion before meeting with Allen in October.

Could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Deliberately not telling the truth. Claimed not to have remembered.

Sounds like he'll fit right in.
