RUMMY RESIGNS! OMG!! |
Main
| Go To Prison With Bob Odenkirk and Will Arnett! »
How, exactly, did the Comedy Central Blog scoop the media on Rummy's step-down? Here's a handy timeline:
12:15 AM EST: Only Like the Biggest (Maybe) Newsbreak of the Night - our CC InDecider one-night-only liveblogging "token conservative" says something to the effect of "My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Donald Rumsfeld find out he was getting canned and pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."
THIS MORNING: Wonkette Spreads the Rumor, saying
"Weirdly, this was first floated by Comedy Central’s blog. So if it’s true, expect dogs lying with cats by sundown."
LIKE, 12:22 PM EST: Upon learning of the Drudge Report saying there would be a "significant announcement" at 1pm, we begin to pee our pants with anticipation.
LIKE, 1 MINUTE AFTER CNN ANNOUNCED RUMSFELD'S RESIGNATION: We pee our pants. Also, Gawker.com says:
Yep, it's true. Defense Secretary Donald Rumseld is packing it in. This won't come as a shock to those of you who keep in touch with the muckraking journal which broke the story late last evening, the Wall Street Jour-- er, the New York T-- er, the National Enq-- huh? Oh, right, the Comedy Central blog.Nice work, media! You got scooped by the folks who write web promos for Mind of Mencia!

I'm so proud of you. But not for the pants-peeing thing. Please do something about that.
Love,
Mom

I guess firing him isn't really a "flip-flop", so it must be a "cut and run."

Here's what really happened.... George called Nancy (Pelosi, not Reagan) to congratulate her, and the conversation went like this:
GEORGE:
Nancy, Congratulations... Glad to see we will be working together....We will be working together won't we?
NANCY:
George, you know I stick by my word, and we will be glad to work with the GOP in Congress and the Executive.
GEORGE:
There are rumors you are wanting to ...you know, the "I" word.... Are you planning to start any bills in that regard??
NANCY: George, you shouldn't listen to rumors, but you did lie to the American Public!!
GEORGE: Well, maybe a little bit, but what will it take for me to stay in office and complete my term??
NANCY: Rummy.
GEORGE:
What???? You want me to get rid of Don Rumsfield??
NANCY: It's him or you George.
GEORGE: OK, I'll make it happen... good working with you. I can see we will have a good working relationship over the next couple of years...
NANCY:
Bye George...
