In the Mid-Term Elections, the Republicans have lost control of the House of Representatives in Congress and there is a chance that they'll lose control of the Senate.
To appease his new political masters Dubya threw his daddy's old mate Donald Rumsfeld, a 30+ year veteran of Washington posts (he was Gerry Ford's Chief of Staff), onto his sword (or his Apache Helicopter, as may be more appropriate).
But don't be too happy. Another of daddy's old buddies (and a good ol' boy from Texas), former CIA Director (appointed by George H W Bush) Robert Gates is the new Secretary of Defense designate. Oddly enough, he also used to be the Dean of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&N University where he is currently President.
Ahh, but will there be more changes to come??
Though for one very high profile Republican - a born-again greenie who speaks with a thick Austrian accent "I varnt to verk wif you" it was a very good day. Congratulations to Governor Schwarzenegger of California - he's in charge of one of the world's biggest economies until 2011.
And of course, congratulations also to re-elected Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton from NY. Looking good for 2008???
