You know it wasn’t a racist comment. You also know it doesn’t matter. MSNBC has their see-what-racists-all-Obama-opponents-are talking point for the next few days.

More to the point, though, knowing Donald Rumsfeld he doesn’t care about any of that, which is one of the things I love about him. The far more important point here is the point itself - that the U.S. had a good relationship with Karzai in Afghanistan when the Bush Administration was in office. It was only when Obama and crew came in that we suddenly couldn’t work with him.

Maybe a trained zeb.... No that is racist too... So few choices. The emperor... No sense, no feeling, no brains, no headache... Hat tip to my dad for that one...

No he didn’t he said that the State Department could have gotten agreements from countries... So he called Hillary a trained ape.

But we already knew that.

Don’t look now, but Rusmfeld’s comment implies that the Golfer In Chief is *not* a trained ape.

Your point about being careful is valid, since this will just be fodder for the racism mill. Technically, to state that a “trained ape could do better than Obama”, obviously excludes Obama from the class of “trained apes”. The distinction is not on “ape” but on trained versus untrained...

Agree. Not even sure something at the primate level is needed. Possibly a untrained squirrel could get it done.
