The Best of U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
For Rummy fans
Loretta "Dirty" Sanchez is no match for Donald Rumsfeld!
Look for "ditz" in the dictionary and they have a picture of Loretta Sanchez.
I saw this exchange on Fox News yesterday and it was a riot. Some of these congress critters don't how stupid they are. They ought to be made to look at themselves on TV to see how stupid they look.
lol
Sanchez, isn't she a Mecha type?
Sanchez' staff must be as dumb as she sounds. Almost 2 months pass - it's a fluid, fast-moving situation - did anyone think "Duhh, maybe we better see if there are current numbers?"
Of course I know they're not just trying to make Republicans look bad...
I listened to the exchange, Rep. Sanchez appeared to shrink when Rumsfeld cornered her. At least she got her mug on camera for a few seconds. To her, that makes it worth while. She should know better, Rumsfeld can hold his own with the best of the lot.
I am sure B1 would enjoy it and have a moment of shadenfrude (spelled correct?) at Sanchez's expense, she really is a dolt....
Loretta Sanchez is an inept nincompoop. Rummy must have felt like he was talking to a particularly petulant teenager.
Rummy smacked Hillary's buns a good one, too....
(heard on Rush today)
HILLARY CLINTON: It strikes me a little odd that we would deploy a system that hasn't succeeded and expect that to serve a deterrent value. So I don't understand the sequencing of this.
DONALD RUMSFELD: I think the word "deploying" needs to be calibrated. What's being done here is not a pure test and not a pure deployment, but deploying the pieces of the capability that will evolve into an early missile defense capability, and the way to do that, according to the people
who are working on this -- and I agree and subscribe to the concept -- is to get it in the ground in a modest way, work the problems, keep testing, and as that capability evolves, you will begin to have the early stages of a missile defense capability. If you didn't do anything until you could do everything, you probably wouldn't do anything.
DONALD RUMSFELD: This is the way airplanes evolved. It's the way most -- it's certainly the way satellite systems evolved and it seems to me that they're proceeding on a measured, not a hell-bent-for-leather approach, but a measured approach to a complicated problem which, frankly, given what we read about Iran and what we read about North Korea, ought to be reassuring to us that we're doing what we're doing, and that we're at least on a track to have that capability in the period ahead, assuming we can continue to work out the kinks and the difficulties.

Wonderful, his doesn't-back-down style makes me weak in the knees.
What a dunce. The stupidity we get from some Congress critters is amazing.
Sanchez: Dec. 20.
Rumsfeld: Not surprising there's a difference.
LOL! Laura Ingraham had the audio of this on her show this morning :D

Newt Gingrich, a close confidant of the defense secretary, said that to understand Rumsfeld you have to analyze his early passion for high school, collegiate, and Navy wrestling. "Wrestling is a very lonely business," Gingrich says. "You're by yourself in the arena. It's also a business of great precision. If you snatch wrong, you lose. So, a quarter inch can make a big difference. It's a sport of enormous focus because the match is very fast, very short, and very decisive. So you start with the idea he was at Princeton, so you know he's smart; and he voluntarily went out for wrestling, so you know he's stunningly competitive. And you know that he has a disciplined, focused ability to think about things." The sport, Gingrich says, "tends to produce very confident people who don't mind being visible, because everybody can watch them, and ain't nothing between them and winning and losing."

You gotta love the guy.
But dealing with wingnuts like that everyday must get annoying ;-)
