Fighting the War on Error

One more Rummy funny



Evidently, soon-to-be-former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is feeling a bit more courageous in "flipping off" detractors, both metaphorically and physically. Right back at ya, Rummy. I wonder how the families of over 2,800 soldiers who have been killed would feel about watching this video? And folks, "finger" was no accident - this is a man who's been in public service for over 30 years - if he doesn't know the importance of non-verbal gestures by now, he never will. Then again, Rumsfeld has failed to grasp so many basic concepts that even a political neophyte can, maybe I should even give Rummy the benefit of the doubt here, too. Bottom line - it's kinda funny, but really, it's another sad chapter in his nearly six-year tenure as defense secretary.
