More Rumsfeld Follies

I wish the world were less predictable. Don Rumsfled had hardly finished saying that the Pentagon was pushing the manufacturers of that vehicle armor to makel more, faster, when they told the papers that nobody in the Pentagon was exhorting them to speed it up. And sure, they said, we can do it faster.
Rumsfled is an intelligent guy, too.
And, speaking of what is predictable, Rush Limbaugh accused the "liberal media" of trying to take down Rumsfeld. Just what I was anticipating in my last item.
I wish I had heard Rush explain the big cheer that greeted the Guardsman's question on armor. He probably figures it was choreographed by some homosexual Hollywood director.
Ah, well. What's imporktant here is that Rumsfled will survive and that Rush and friends will continue to flog the fictional "liberal media conspiracy."
Oh, and most of the liberals won't fight back.
