Speaking of Fox News

Brett Baier had an extended day-in-the-life special on Donald Rumsfeld this week. I'm sure that he wouldn't have allowed a CNN or NYTimes reporter that kind of access, but I was still pretty impressed even if it were a puff piece. He's 71 years old. He works at his desk standing up and plays squash 3 times a week. He has a resume that won't quit and he manages like a drill sergeant, with his famous "snowflake" memos that put tough questions to his subordinates and his willingness to take on a lot of entrenched brass in the Pentagon in order to transform our military into a more mobile and nimble force to deal with its current missions.

Rumsfeld is one of the best reasons I can think of for re-electing Bush. Who would Kerry appoint to replace him? Wesley Clark, most likely. Ugh!
