I rather like Secretary Rumsfeld. I enjoy it when he kicks France and Germany in the goolies.

Ivan, why don't you tag along to the Azores? You'd be an asset!

Reporter: "I think I speak for a lot of reporters here when I say that I'm very disappointed in the lack of information coming out of the Pentagon about this operation."
Rumsfield: "The Pentagon isn't releasing any information to the press about this operation? Well, that sounds like great news to me!"

I'm a Rummy chick (and my husband forgives me!) The guy can take one of the most complicated geopolitical issues of our time - the Israeli/Palestinian matter - and condense it into one sentence. Brilliant.

The New York Times' elderly schoolgirl columnist Maureen Dowd Worth the read if only for that line.

I agree. ;^)
Let's hope, "The Rumsfeld phase is about to resume."

I hope Bush now realizes how important Cheny and Rumsfeld are,and how useless Powell is.He should resign.

In the last 18 months, she's become Rip Van Dowdy, and he's more relevant than ever. FOFL That's gotta sting.

It was a small indicator of a large cultural shift when NBC's Saturday Night Live introduced a weekly parody of his press conferences, mercilessly mocking not the politician but the dopey journalists.
Yup. It is a veritable paradigm shift.

I second that wholeheartedly. Powell is a Blix twin in that he seeks to please whomever he's with. He needs to go.

Thanks for all the info you posted today.

It isn't obvious on the article, but apparently this was written by Mark Steyn.
Please ping appropriately.

Rumsfeld is an excellent bad cop to Powell's good.
