Rumsefeld having press conference.... struggling for air...
"I'm not an expert."

"I can guess why we didn't register the prisoner, but that would just be guessing."

"Not consistent with our values." "Well, not the same as Abu Gharab"

Man is he struggling. He's now got two guys on the stage with him.

4. Rumsfeld is clearly evil, possibly insane.
- I am saddened beyond words that such a monster is in a high position of our government. He basically gave a speech on how bad it is that the torture is getting so much media attention. The reporters looked like they didn't like getting preached to, but most of them are still whores.
- A sickening spectacle to see Rumsfeld represent our Nation.

5. You authorized it, BonzoBrain!
How in the world do you not know the reason?!

And, this guy was soooo important, they lost track of him in the Iraqi archipelago for three months.

6. "as we know, there are known knows; there are things we know we know
We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know"

Rummmmmy Speak

8. We sure do owe him a debt of gratitude, don't we?
You're doing a superb job... for someone who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

10. Not a superb job . . .
Chimpy today said he's doing a "fabulous" job. You know, "fabulous"? Same root word as "fable"?

9. Didn't you love his lecture about the press?
He basically said that the problem was the press, NOT the torture. Again these assholes blame the messenger, not the message.

On the "shadow prisoner" question-he had to authorize it. The NYTimes has it on the front page. How can he know almost nothing about it? How does this man keep his job?

12. Anyone surprised anymore?
He is such a fountain of misinformation and lies, it's pathetic.

Nothing like the ongoing scandels and lies to get people back on topic and off the Reagan funeral of last week.

Guess the Republicans wont be riding that bandwagon very long after all. :toast:
