The main reason why Rummy hadn't been canned thus far is that by staying
on Bush avoids the inevitable pointed embarrassing questions at the
hearings for his replacement.

With the Dems in control of both houses, hearings are inevitable
regardless. So, might as well toss him overboard like the useless
jetsam that he is.

I mean, is there anybody standing up for him at this point?

Apparently this was in the works for some time. - If so, and if Bush had
acted a month ago, the Reps would have kept control of the Senate IMO.
