Ha ha, bang, bitches!
Rumsfeld's old nemesis, General Eric "we'll be needing more troops in Iraq" Shinseki, has been named to Obama's cabinet as Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Shinseki was one of the numerous tragedies of the BushCo years: a intelligent military commander who was not afraid to speak truth to power, and who was forced into early retirement when he didn't toe the Rumsfeld line. I remember thinking at the time, "so much for letting 'commanders on the ground' guide our strategy."
Look at him. He's loving the smell of vindication in the morning.
Maybe he should call Colin Powell and describe to him how sweet it smells.

In my best "The Rock" voice:
Can you smell what the Shinseki is cookin!?
I kind of regret he's not placing him in a foreign policy or defense role, but at least I know he'll do a great job looking out for our veterans.
"Smell of vindication in the morning."
Good one.
