Dumbass (Rumsfeld) says what?
Did I hear correctly on NPR tonight, Dumsfeld saying that there had been more casualties "since the war ended" than he had expected? Donny, Bubi, have you gone to the office lately? If I'm not mistaken, WE'RE STILL IN A WAR!!! Your clueless leader has called himself a "War President". Our soldiers are falling like ducks in a shooting gallery. Every day, families across this country are receiving news of the death or injury of a loved one. Iraqi citizens are dying as the result of indiscriminate bombing or shelling ordered by your department. Most of Iraq is poised on the edge of open revolt due to the clueless policies (if they can even be called policies...the term implies at least the whiff of a plan)of the CPA. I had no idea that it was possible to concentrate so many incompetents, delusionaries, ignoramuses, thieves, liars, and just plain nutjobs into a single administration. Every administration has at least a few but this one has all of them.

3. Are you referring to the best Rumspeak of the year?

If you had asked by one year ago whether the situation that would prevail on April 15 2004 would be as it is exists today, i would not have given you an accurate description of the situation as it is.

in order words,

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK WE'RE DOING

4. I missed that one,
god, the man is a national treasure. Let's bury him. Didn't he say that the Iraqis would be showering us with flowers and candy? Maybe they'll start throwing them at us when they run out of bullets, mortar shells, and RPG rounds. Hey, those Jolly Ranchers can sting if you whip them hard enough.

5. that saying by joseph campbell
reminded me of a saying from a long long time ago.

He who knows and knows he knows, he is wise to follow
He who knows not and knows he knows not, he is a child, teach him
(Now this one is for rummy)
He who knows not and knows not he knows not, he is a fool, shun him.

2. I heard him...
I was eating dinner and almost needed a Heimlich. Unfortunately, my 6 year old and three year old were at the table so I couldn't express myself appropriately. I hate those little questions like "Daddy, what's a shithead?". And my three-year-old doesn't need to be taking those words to preschool...

8. LIke his boss, Rummy is in over his head
Old and in the way, he should resign. That is the manly thing to do short of Seppuku. The very least is to give us a "Pinky" and express regret.

9. Yet limpballs portrayed Clark as Jack D. Ripper
and Clark was telling the world this is what was going to happen over a year ago. It is one of the main reasons he ran for President.
