Once again, Hydrablog is ahead of the MSM

Article in The Hill newspaper, "GOP furious about timing of Rumsfeld resignation." Key quote,

"The White House said keeping the majority was a priority, but they failed to do the one thing that could have made a difference," one House GOP leadership aide said Thursday. "For them to toss Rumsfeld one day after the election was a slap in the face to everyone who worked hard to protect the majority."

Readers of the H-Blog were tipped to this a full two days before readers of The Hill, in the post, "Rumsfeld first casualty of Dem victory."Key quote,

Today was the absolute worst day to fire Rummy. A month ago, yes. Would have blunted a lot of national concerns about Iraq (and it looks like this was an election based on national ideas). If he was on shaky ground, make the move to signal that you are open to changes, get people talking about something else besides "Rumsfeld must go" and take some momentum away from a surging Dem party.

And the icing on top,

If I was a losing GOPer, I would be furious.

See, some blogs give you the news, Hydrablog gives you what the news means.

Clearly Patrick O'Connor, if that's his real name, read the H-Blog and went off and filed his story. Don't think we're not watching you Mr. O'Connor.
