Rewrite and dropping query string

I have the following in my .htaccess

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^rss=1$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/Ruminate/rss [R,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^atom=1$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://feeds.feedburner.com/Ruminate/atom [R,L]

It works, in that it redirects from
mysite.com/?rss=1
to
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Ruminate/rss?rss=1

But I'd like it NOT to append that query string and just redirect to:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Ruminate/rss

(that seems like what it should do anyway)... so what's the fix?
