It is now a week after the election and the Democrats are
particularly happy. I’m happy too.
I have been living in a City submerged in venomous hate for the past five years. Bush hate, Cheney hate and Rumsfeld hate. The hate has abated thanks to the Democratic victory in Congress. I look forward to two years of mild anger, but no more venomous hate.
My hat is off to Rummy. He probably did the best job of any Sec’ty of Defense in half a century, based on his knowledge, experience and irascible nature. We won’t actually know for decades.
