Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld tells the audience at DoD's 19th annual Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast Jan. 22 that the nation has made important strides in achieving the completely color-blind society King envisioned. Seated in the foreground is sixth-grader Kendell Cunningham, 12, of Washington's John Tyler Elementary School, winner of DoD's King essay-writing contest. Next to him is U.S. Senate Chaplain Barry Black, a retired Navy rear admiral and former chief of Navy chaplains.

OH PUH-LEEZE! Hows does the normally acerbic Rummy reconcile the fact that King was an outspoken critic of the Vietnam war?

Clemenza, btw, likens Mr. King to a womanizing plagiarist lefty.
