No, I can't say that I do.

Let's not forget our telegenic, straight-shooting President either, the Commander-in-Chief with swagger.

As I like to say, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.......the trifecta of men's men, and ladies men.

George Will had a segment on Rummy during the Sam and Cokie show about a week ago and concluded that the reason why Rumsfeld's popularity has soared is because "he is dripping with competence".

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now if they would just go after our own homegrown terrorist organizations like the IRS and beel and hitlery clinton, of Murder, Arkansas Style, Inc., we might have something here.

Well, I guess there is grump, one wet blanket in every crowd, who just cannot stand to see other people enjoy life.

Or does Rummy make you jealous? Meow! Don't worry. If you ever get that head on straight maybe you too will grow up to be a real man like Rummy.

Actually, I am just here to poke fun

There is a certain type of woman who automatically equates power with sex. Remember Kissingers famous quote? "Power is the ultimate aphrodesiac"

And remember "Stormin Norman" was voted sexiest man in the universe or something or another right after Desert Storm.

If he drove a cab and wore overalls or worked the drive up window at Burger King none of these people would give him the time of day.

The Democrats have them also, Remember the women who wished they were Monica (and were blunt about it) after the scandal broke?

"Steely confidence is admired, in burly firemen, guys who attack armed hijackers with their bare hands, 19-year-olds who parachute into battlefields in the middle of the night - and straight-shooting Rummy, the senior with swagger. Manly men, every one. It's good to have them back."

Thank God; yes it is. I hope this sea-change lasts long enough to push all the incompetent, phony know-it-all, snotty clintonian whiners WAY, WAY back down under their rocks, so far they can't find their way back out.

The difference between Rumsfeld and Bubba is that ONLY Democrats and like-minded sorts ever saw his appeal. Sane people never bought his act.

But Rummy seems to have bewitched the Libs even. And the press. I don't think it's just a matter of power. It's also the humor mixed in.

And the fact that we are winning the war that he is leading does not hurt. In uncertain times we tend to look to people who cannot be ruffled. People who roll up their sleeves - no whining - no second-guessing - and just get the job done.

Do you find it pleasing to have a good leader "praised" in such a manner?

I checked your source, and, indeed, the Iniquiter used the title Do ya think he's sexy?.

Do you find it complimentary to associate a great leader with common barnyard behavior? Is it inspiring to connect a notable person's achievement and confidence with what passes for instinctive accomplishment at the lowest common denominator of both animals and people? If the answer is "no," then you've been tricked by media again into accepting their assessment as valid. Join the club. Develop keener senses to being set-up.

When a hero steps on stage, we know there are those who cannot stomach the idea of heroism. These types will heap false praise upon your hero's head. This is in order to set the stage to belittle them at a later date. In this instance, that belittling has started already by the nature of the praise. You should be angry, not pleased.

When a stranger (let alone a former enemy) suddenly praises you, it is normal for you to feel uncomfortable. So you smile; say thankyou; then nonchalantly check your back for the target they planted. I view this article both as springing from that level of sophomorics and as containing all the sincerity of Bill Clinton.

To admirers of Rumsfeld, this "gift" should be looked in the mouth and everywhere else you can think of. The pedigree of the sender should receive similar attention.

Almost as cute as Cheney!

I used to be a Cheney Chick. But, alas, I had to throw him over for Rummy. Yes, sexy he is!
