Donald Rumsfeld was asked by Jim Lehrer on the News Hour on PBS just now if his low poll numbers bothered him. This was after one tiresome question after another about how the polls prove Americans hate Bush, the war in Iraq and everything else Republican-related. Rumsfeld came up with the best, in-your-face reply: "If you look where the news media is, it's down very low in the polls. If you want to get into public opinion polls, people in that business are right down near the bottom. You know that. Does it bother you?" Lehrer looked embarrassed and could only respond "I ask the questions here."
That's why I love Rumsfeld! He's not afraid to stuff it right back in the hideous faces of the media pukes unlike the rest of the administration that just plays so prissy and fearful with the leftist media.
Thanks for the ping, Mo. What a great early morning laugh.
GO RUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you mean "Fake but Accurate" exit polls?? ;-P
LOL! A good one!
Poll schmoll, I bet Roosevelt had some low poll ratings around 1942 or so...
Thanks for the ping, Mo. If I'd known Rummy was going to be on, I'd have watched. He simply speaks the truth. No wonder they hate him so much.
LOL! Thank God for Don Rumsfeld as SecDef.
Sec. Rumsfeld, 1954
The country is so fortunate this man signed on with Bush for so much of the Bush presidency. He may not have done everything perfectly, but after 8 years of pantywaist SecDef's he is refreshing.
Truth to power! [hoot]
I love Rummy.
About time someone in the admin made that point.
The President's numbers are higher than the Democrats, Republicans, Congress and the press. they should trumpet that.
No, but with a lifelong internship with that guy as one of his kids, no one would be able to pull much on you, either.
Just proves the point that even RINOs can be classified as "Clinton's Bitch"
LOL!

Quite an array. Sorry, but they all look the same to me.
No doubt his offspring would have better than average genes and survival instincts. LOL
Rumsfeld means "picnic grove for big boozeing parties" in German. I do not know if Rumsfeld is Jewish, but one may suspect so.
