BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Donald Rumsfeld, who is a true statesman, Donald Rumsfeld has served this country for decades. Donald Rumsfeld gave this country the best that he has. Donald Rumsfeld was the CEO of G. D. Searle & Company at the time they introduced aspartame, Equal, and released it onto the market, which everybody knows is an effort to poison people and turn 'em into communists. Just kidding, Snerdley. This is what some people think.
Rumsfeld is a great man. The John Kerrys, the Nancy Pelosis, the Hillary Clintons, the Barack Obamas and everybody associated with them tried to destroy Donald Rumsfeld. For eight years, both terms of the Bush administration, secretary of defense, tried to destroy him, along with trying to destroy Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby and Karl Rove, tried to destroy him. Not just disagreed with him. Tried to destroy him. It was infuriating, and it's not uncommon. The left uses this as their modus operandi.
Rumsfeld was on with Greta last night. I really wish I could play the whole thing for you. It is such an illustration of the stark contrast between then and now. True statesmanship, true leadership, true competence, versus the rank amateur fire drill that we're living with now. I've only got one sound bite here, but it'll give you a flavor. Greta Van Susteren said to Rumsfeld, "What's the worst-case scenario? What do we have to worry about?"

Rumsfeld Interview with Greta last night
Interview with Kissinger last night
I always liked Rumsfeld.
North: Obama admin. ‘making it up as they go along’ in Syria
A few edits.
We are living in a fascist dictatorship, Rush and his cabal are nothing more the mouth pieces for the Republican leadership, we are still waiting for Rush and the other talking heads to cover the BC issue without fear instead of name calling.
Oh wait, he has a new book to sell.
We have a CLUELESS Affirmative Action person playing like President. And look at the mess in the middle east on account of it. Makes you wish for the days of Jimmy Carter.
Me too. Great guy.
So are the rest of us.
I missed the interview and Rush this morning.
The key point in all of this, and I don’t know why this would be new to anyone, is that the left sees the future of the world as a flat power structure, as opposed to the traditional pyramid with the US at the pinnacle. This has been the goal since the Clinton years, when Madeline Albright first expressed it publicly. It is in the opinion of the left, as Rush said, social justice. They consider the US to have been on top for too long and that we have only gotten there by oppressing the “Brown” nations of the world. The goal is a One World Socialist Government, which would redistribute the wealth of capitalist nations to the undeveloped nations of the world. The latest iteration of that is to redistribute the wealth to the non-oil producing nations of the world.
There isn’t a ‘’true statesman’’ anywhere in this world.
Read the whole piece. Rush nails it.
No one is forced to listen to Rush and he is not necessarily the king of conservatives but a solid conservative voice in the leftist wilderness of broadcasting. Those who cynically dismiss Limbaugh can be found all over the leftist websites. We gave at the office and don't need it here, too.
Cant watch this at work, but dying to know what Kissinger said.
bttt
Better yet, read his memoirs. I thought it was unusually candid, with very little sugar coating.
I watched - thanks for the link... Can you or anyone tell me why some party didn’t run Rumsfeld for President? I would have voted for him if he ran as a bullmoose...
Er ... no.
Rumors at the Republican convention in 1980 were that Reagan had narrowed his VP candidates down to Bush and Rumsfeld, usltimately choosing Bush because that choice would better unite the party after a fractious primary season. Think of what could have been had he made the other choice. We would have been spared not only Bush 41, but also Clinton, who Rummy would have creamed in '92, and probably also spared Bush 43. It's always seemed to me that picking Bush instead of Rumsfeld was the biggest mistake the Great RR ever made. Rumsfeld did explore launching a campaign of his own in '88, but Bush just had too good a glide path from the VP slot.
