It appears that the calls for Rumsfelds resignment are reaching a cacophanous fever pitch. Retired generals stepping out of line, media speculation so thick he might also well be bigfoot. Through it all, he's been smiling, laughing, and (even though he's submitted resignments to the president twice this term without impact) staying on, hook and nail. It's impressive really - I don't know if I would have the same chutzpah. Here are my predictions as to what is going to happen....
Scenario 1 - Under pressure from the ultimate goal, Carl Rove, Rumsfeld will put in a third resignment, citing "personal reasons" or "wanting to spend more time with his family" - and it will be accepted. Sadly, the President will make a news conference, noting that Donald will stay on as a "close and trusted advisor.. and friend".
Scenario 2 - Rumsfeld, under increasing pressure and inability to fully open his eyes past a squint, has a heart attack and dies.
Scenario 3 - He stays on through the end of the presidency, gradually making less and less sense, until at the morning meetings they pass around a "Rumsfeld Mad-Libs" sheet. He then goes on to command a fleet of Canadian Geese in front of the Washington Monument for the rest of his days.
