{news} Fw: JOE LIEBERMAN TO REPLACE RUMSFELD?

[Kenneth Humphrey]

     Well, look at it this way, Rumsfeld is a ruthless
zilch and Jingo Joe wouldn't be any worse than
Rumsfeld. And, here in Ct. we'd be rid of the creepy
nonentity that Jingo Joe Lieberman is. We just might
end up with a somewhat better senator in D.C. We might
even get to hear less of his Elmer Fudd voice which
would be a great thing.

This makes perfect sense. Leiberman is apparently
persuing a career path as Secretary of Defense.

Bush needs some new blood and to get a Dem would be a
real feather in his cap.

this is a fun rumor to spread.  it certainly explains
why Joe has been so public about his support for the
man I like to call "Baghdad Bush"  in honor of
"Baghdad Bob"  who also knew how to paint a rosy
picture of the facts on the ground.

  Rummy Exit Rumored; Lieberman Eyed for Job
    By Thomas M. DeFrank and Kenneth R. Bazinet
    The New York Daily News
    Thursday 08 December 2005

    Washington - White House officials are telling
associates they expect Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld to quit early next year, once a new
government is formed in Iraq, sources said yesterday.

    Rumsfeld's deputy, Gordon England, is the inside
contender to replace him, but there's also speculation
that Sen. Joe Lieberman - a Democrat who ran against
Bush-Cheney in the 2000 election - might become top
guy at the Pentagon.

    That's not as farfetched as it might first appear.

    The Daily News has learned that the White House
considered Lieberman for the UN ambassador's job last
year before giving the post to John Bolton, a Bush
adviser said.

    "He thought about it for a week or so and finally
said no," the adviser recalled.

    A source close to the White House said Rumsfeld
wanted out a year ago, after Bush's reelection, but
neither he nor President Bush wanted his departure to
appear to have been forced.

    "They didn't want to give the critics the
satisfaction that their piling on was what got rid of
him," a Bush adviser said.

    Bush has told friends that Rumsfeld is a political
liability, but the President has a history of sticking
with his personnel baggage until an opportune moment.

    "Only Rumsfeld will make Rumsfeld leave," a White
House source said.

    Rumors that Lieberman could replace Rumsfeld
started flying early this week, and Bush and Vice
President Cheney fanned the flames by quoting the
former Democratic veep candidate's pro-war statements.

    The mention of Lieberman's name prompted some
Democrats to whisper that he is lobbying for the job.

    "Lieberman seems to be coordinating his statements
on the war with the White House," a Senate Democratic
source said.

    The source pointed to a news conference this week
where Lieberman urged his party not to undermine Bush.
The timing of Lieberman's pitch, also this week, to
form a bipartisan "war cabinet" to aid Bush was cited
as well.

    But Lieberman and Team Bush dismissed the rumors.

    "The U.S. Senate is where Sen. Lieberman wants to
be, which is why he is actively campaigning for
reelection to his fourth term," the senator's
spokeswoman, Casey Aden-Wansbury, said.
