WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has joined other Republicans in criticizing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

This is how GW wishes to spend his so-called political capital? By wasting it on the defense of a cabinet member who is drawing harsh words from his own party, and by most accounts was voted most-likely-to-resign post-Nov. 2nd (right behind Powell)? Could it be even at this stage that GW still wishes to put up appearances of not wanting to admit mistakes (Rumsfeld leaving = admission Iraq mistake-filled)?

It's no wonder Mike Malloy calls him "Too Stupid To Be President."
