Rummy has the same sense of humor that my grandfather had and I still remember his jokes to this day. What a delightful man, but you wouldn't want to cross him!

Cracked me up.

Usually when the media satirize conservatives, it is condesendingly (i.e., SNL). The author of this piece seems to be a Rummy fan - he's caught his essence perfectly, IMHO.

Is this a dignified piece for a man of Rummsfeld's stature? If this were about Clinton, you'd all be saying it's pathetic.
To: LisaFab
A childish attempt by some leftist columnist who is trying to bring an honorable and decent man like Donald Rumsfield down into the Clinton gutter. No original humor in this at all. Say the word sex and adolescents laugh.

laffin' too hard to speak.

It was posted under Political Humor/Cartoons. It is satire. And it is too funny!

Is this a dignified piece for a man of Rummsfeld's stature? If this were about Clinton, you'd all be saying it's pathetic.What's really being satirized here is sexual advice columnists. What's really being implicitly praised is Rumsfeld's style of no-nonsense straight talk and how it would apply to the wishy-washy world of sexual advice.
Rumsfeld isn't being mocked in this piece at all, which is why nobody here is complaining.
A similar piece with questions for Clinton wouldn't work because Clinton speaks in the same mushy way that most advice columnists write (not to mention all the ironies given Clinton's deviancy). You might get a chuckle out of "it all depends on what the meaning of 'orgasm' is", but not much of a laugh.
To: LisaFab
Thanks! It's funny, and it's even funnier thinking about Rumsfeld reading it. Bet he would laugh, too.

And just say the word 'sex' to some, and instantly it is not funny at all.
It's a satirical piece. Quit turning everything into a calamity.
To: Numbers Guy
Exactly right! I think the author's admiration for Rummy's style shines through.

What makes it funny is the juxtaposition of Rummy's stature and style with the subject matter. Reminds me of the Saturday Night Live show where Jesse Jackson read "Green Eggs and Ham." That was hilarious.
To: LisaFab
My wife is a huge Rummy fan. Will be emailing her a link.
To: Phantom Lord; rogercolleridge
I agree with ellery above who said it's even funnier if you imagine him reading it!

I think the real Rumfeld, would probably just respond to each question with "your an idiot, and a disgrace to the human race, please have no children, next question".

This is not appropriate. What if it were Reagan...Lincoln or Washington. Satire can be very funny, but this is cheap, sexxual humor that belongs on the playground.
To: LisaFab
I like the pic with the article...
