Is this in reference to the Thomas Friedman interview by Russert? That was very interesting and one of the few things i agree with Friedman on.
Rumsfeld is the MASTER of slapping down snivelling reporters with their stupid questions, but doing so with finesse and class. Having to deal with the same ridiculous "What's your mission, where are the troops,what kinds of weapons do you have?" questions every day requires the patience of a saint.
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!! He is one tough old bird, and I'm supremely grateful he's part of the team that's in charge right now.
