Rummy reads the tea leaves, resigns

At least SOMEBODY in the current adminstration, albeit one of the biggest fuck-ups, recognizes the depth and seriousness of the voters’ rebuke.

That said, he has to go through confirmation hearings. Will Democrats insist that wait until the new Senate takes power? They should.
