Rumsfeld?s finger wave (Will We Miss Ya Rummy!)

While answering questions at Kansas State University, Rummy didn't appreciate a question from an audience member and quite casually flipped him the bird.

Q: If you were going to give yourself a letter grade for your performance as Secretary of Defense–what grade would that be?

Rumsfeld: Oh, I'd let history worry about that…

Looks like he's scratching his lip... while he delivers a message.

That's how Rumsfeld expresses derision. He didn't want to get his mouth dirty.

I always enjoyed watching Rummy make fun of the media's elementary questions! Kudos to Rummy for an adequate response to rude and instigating questions.

Thats funny. I have to say, I have seen him do that before in press conferences and such.

This gave me an idea. How does President Rumsfeld sound?
I don't think he's a compassionate conservative though.

I can't think of another Sec of Def, I've respected more then Rummy. Only one who comes close is the V.P., when he was SoD for Bush Sr. Both, GREAT men, and GREAT Americans.

I can't wait to see Rummy break out and tell everyone what he really thinks of the media and the dems.

President Rumsfeld sounds great. Lots of points for not being a compassionate Conservative.

I wish Rummy would head to Australia for a year or two and rent a plot of land and become a gentlemen farmer.

From there he can tell Leahy and all the other committees to kiss his @$$, I am not coming to your Kanagroo Court Hearings (Which they will have).
