Ruthless Rudy   [Kate O'Beirne]

A clever friend sees an under-appreciated strength in Rudy's wife problems:

Contrary to popular speculation, the apparently brutal public dumping of Donna Hanover can only bolster the popularity of the man with conservatives.

One thinks, if the wife of 15 years and mother of his two children could be so summarily, publicly and ruthlessly fired, it would be likely that the Man as President  similarly would not hesitate to fire at a moment's notice deranged and incompetent old blowhard Secretaries of Defense or generals who don't use enough troops.  He also would be unlikely to award Medals of Freedom to spectacular failures like Paul Bremer or Tommy Franks.

The public now hungers for it.
