".Get that guy out of my sight. He creeps me out"--- Richard Nixon
This was Richard Nixon talking about Don "the Creep" Rumsfeld to one of his other creeps ( Colson, Haldeman or Ehrlichman,I don't know which). Tell me if a guy can creep out Richard Nixon, how sleazy he must be. Along the same vein, even Henry Kissinger warned his aides to beware of Rumsfeld, another fine testimonial from Henry the Snake.

Didn't Kissinger once refer to Ronald Dumbsfeld as one of the most ruthless men he had ever met??? I thought I had read this from a good source... but can't remember where......

-----
Henry Kissinger once said that Mr Rumsfeld was the most ruthless man he knew.

He added that he was a "skilled full-time politician-bureaucrat in whom ambition, ability and substance fuse seamlessly".

14. I think a lot of this was covered
in the book "The Rise of the Vulcans". Sorry, don't remember the author.

6. Haha...Nixon admired how much Barbara Bush could hate, though.
He said noone hates like Barbara Bush hates.

9. read this...Rolling Stone's article on Dick Cheney!
It is a great article on Cheney but it also shows the bond Cheney and Rumsfeld have had dating back to the Nixon era. These two guys are the most overrated pumped up lightweights our country has ever seen!

11. Not more overrated than W, but he is still considered "the smart one"
for mysterious reasons. I remember an article in 2001 which made a convincing case that Lynne is the brains in that family, Dick being as much of a puppet as we know W to be.
I miss dearly Clinton's meritocracy - who knows if I'll see it again in my lifetime?
