Line of the week
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday called on Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to resign, hours after excoriating him at a public hearing over what she called "failed policy" in Iraq.
"I just don't understand why we can't get new leadership that would give us a fighting chance to turn the situation around before it's too late," the New York Democrat and potential 2008 presidential contender said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I think the president should choose to accept Secretary Rumsfeld's resignation."
"The secretary has lost credibility with the Congress and with the people," she said. "It's time for him to step down and be replaced by someone who can develop an effective strategy and communicate it effectively to the American people and to the world."
Asked about Clinton's comments, Pentagon spokesman Eric Ruff said,
"We don't discuss politics."

See, it's funny because Rumsfeld, Clinton, and the Pentagon are all in the political arena. So if they don't walk about "politics," what they hell are they talking about, whenever they talk?
And now you've been >>inside<< the joke.
Those are all worth topics of discussion.
I wonder what Anderson would be without that great hair.
And we all know there is no baby.
