Too bad that weird guy Williams is putting this together. Only he could come up with that faux-insider name like that.

And wait til everyone sees his odd body language. I saw a preview. At one point, he's asking Rumsfeld about the bones of Bin Laden and if we have a crew testing the bones to see if they are really Binnie's. Well during the question, which was way too verbose and meandering, he starts his head shaking back and forth, a foot each way, front to back, as if he's trying to get Rummy to agree with his leading question.

He strikes me as the type of person who needs to think about blinking in order to move his eyelids.

I would much rather listen to an interview of Sect. Rumsfeld by Juan Williams, late of NPR. He's much more fair and balanced.

After years of that wimp (and that is being kind to wimps) Sec Cohen in charge of the DoD ---Rumsfeld put the fear of authority and competance back into the flacid Pentagon Press Corps.

He does not suffer fools.

Anyone asking an arrogant, self-serving, ridiculous 7-part question better hold on their boney rear end.

. . he starts his head shaking back and forth, a foot each way, front to back, as if he's trying to get Rummy to agree with his leading question.

Williams' questions are so long and convoluted he is almost impossible to watch. He was on Imus the other day laughing at his own questioning technique. Kinda like Rather, who can be (please no flames) quite charming when he is not pontificating on his own show.

Maybe Williams can ask Rummy if he is a NASCAR fan. He's a lot more fun when he is talking about taking his son to the races.

I heard Brian Williams comment on this up coming interview with Rumsfeld. He stated, that Rumsfeld was the MOST CONFIDENT MAN IN WASHINGTON, So lets tune in, it should be another winner for Rumsfeld.

OK, here we go...

"We don't get to see the President as you do, as your opinion and perspective of the man they call President, George W. Bush..."

"If you were to find a pile of bones in the corner of a cave on a ridge in Afghanistan next to Pakistan on Earth near the only moon of Earth third planet from the sun in the Solar System near a mountain over near a pile of bones in the corner, are you saying that these bones are being DNA checked by people they might call DNA checkers? Can I get Jim Miklashvski at the Pennagon to confirm?"

He's got a really weird body language. I still say he thinks to blink.

Weird body language and silly looking makeup. The contrast with Rumsfeld is striking.

Yeah, and what was annoying was his plugging of SNL. Oh, it's s singn to Don Rumsfled that he's made it when a once-good show has someone who can mimic Rumsfeld portray him in a well-worn skit concept? What???

They showed a great camara shot of George H.W. Bush introducing George W. to Ronald Reagan.

Williams then said, "three future presidents together on the stage." Neat!

I got a kick out of the old Rumsfeld tapes. That guy was and is FOCUSED.

Many men, I'm sure, regretted not doing good by him.

"To some, he is the man they call Liberty Valance, in the mold of the vortex of axiomatic Upper Darby, but to others, he is a driven, emotionless leader of that which they may call that unit of militarily might, (BLINK) the military. But to some he may also be called that which they could call, if they did decide to call that which they could might call if the did call when they try to sift and colander the detritus of the men that may have come up against what some may say, Kissinger at State, the toughest political operator this side of the Atlantic body of woter, the ocean...(BLINK)(BLINK)"

He certainly has led an admirable life! To think he came to Washington in 1957 during the Eisenhower administration. We are so lucky to have him as our Secretary of Defense.

You have NO idea how hard I am laughing, and it's a good thing, because it is embarrassing -- you put me in that helpless state of immediately losing all muscle strength and falling to the floor in a bubbling heap.

You SO nailed it.
