[Our man in washington]

From a Saturday Night Live sketch last November. They had a skit about a Rumsfeld press conference:

Reporter: We're being told that Northern Alliance forces are firing back at Taliban forces who have fired on them, even though the Taliban troops missed. Does the U.S. condone that?

Rumsfeld: Now, what kind of question is that?

Reporter: Thought-provoking?

Rumsfeld: No.

Reporter: Incisive?

Rumsfeld: No. Remember what I said about your question the other day?

Reporter: That it was idiotic?

Rumsfeld: AND...?

Reporter: And that I am an embarassment both to myself and to my newspaper?

Rumsfeld: That's right.
