White House looks rudderless

Could there be any clearer proof this administration is failing? Good ole Joe publicly called for Rumsfeld's resignation. Did he make a deal for White House support or is Lieberman getting a little nervous about Bush stinking up his campaign as the "moderate's" voice? Personally I think he made a deal with Rove. They need a scapegoat and somebody has to dump on Rummy. Win-win for Karl. He starts the ball rolling to blame Rummy for the mess in Iraq and Joementum gets to pretend he's not just a White House toady.

But even more telling, Bush came out in favor of selling the Plan B contraceptive over the counter. I've seen surprisingly little about this. The fundies are of course outraged. The Dems aren't about to point out that Bush did something reasonable. I don't get the strategy for Bush on this one at all. He could have just kept his mouth shut.
