Smack!!! A great smack of Rumsfeld!

[Grins]

In today's Washington Post:

Rumsfeld on Laura Ann-Coulter-without-the-testicles Ingraham's radio show.

Rumsfeld: "Their (Iraqi media) questions were thoughtful and substantive and had dimension to them, in contrast to some of the questions we hear elsewhere."

Well, the Iraqi reporters have had decades of experience grilling their leaders, as opposed to those "elsewhere" people.

Laura Ingraham, citing WaPo article saying Rumsfeld and Rice didn't seem in sync on their last trip: "Are you and Condoleezza Rice on the outs or something?"

Rumsfeld: "Oh, absolutely not. What nonsense. It's just fairly typical Washington Post stuff."

Ingraham (Referring to a comment by Sunni leader Saleh al-Mutlak, whose brother was killed last month): "That kind of bravery . . . and courage, unfortunately gets underreported in our media all too often."

Rumsfeld: "You're exactly right." (Not just right, but exactly right. Must be taking English lessons from W?)

The Post’s Al Kamen smackback-attack: Indeed, exactly right. We checked the LexisNexis and Factiva databases for that quote and found only one publication that reported it - out of thousands listed in the databases. And that one would be? Ah yes, the "fairly typical Washington Post!"

Here's the link; and also read the following article about poor Claude Allen!
