CNN are reporting breaking news that Donald Rumsfeld is to step down as US Defense Secretary. All those conspiracy theorists who said that Joe Lieberman would be appointed to replace him will be on the edges of their seats…

Meanwhile, the Dems say they’ve won Montana and Virginia but the results still need to be confirmed and there is an outisde chance the Republican incumbents could each ask for a recount.

Update: The conspiracists will be relieved (their views on the new man aside) to hear that Bob Gates is replacing Donald Rumsfeld.

Bush is currently giving a press conference, babbling away as only he can.
