Ain't talkin', just walkin'

The Winter of Our Content continued yesterday, when Secretary of Defense Don Rumseld "resigned" immediately following Tuesday's election. He will be replaced by former Bush I CIA chief Robert Gates. Shoot, I thought Michael Brown was a shoo-in for that spot. Rumsfeld and Bush didn't say much about the departure, except for the requisite fellating of the Secretary of Defense by Bush for his long service at the Pentagon, and the President specifically highlighted Rumsfeld's excellent handling of the Draft riots of 1863.

The media is a abuzz with speculation on why Rumsfeld finally decided to leave the Defense Department. I'm pretty comfortable with rank incompetence and complete disregard for the safety and security of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. Great, so it's settled.

Rumsfeld is undecided what military he's going to fuck up next, so right now he's weighing his options. Here's a couple of suggestions, courtesy of us here at Moderately Effed:

- The new host of The Price Is Right (Do I think you should guess a lower amount? Yeah. Is this vacation package to Phoenix overpriced? Absolutely. Would you like to try a game of Plinko? Maybe.)
- Gravedigger at Arlington cemetery
- Replacement for Sisyphus
- Form a comedy team with Robert McNamara

So long Mr. Secretary! Go fuck yourself!
