The timing was "brilliant" only by the standards of a dunce's academy.
Now, if Bush had fired Rumsfeld
before the election, to take the momentum away from the liberals and remind everyone who is in charge and thwart the liberals etc etc -
before he lost his party the House and the Senate - now that would have been kind of smart.
