Dana Bash of CNN just said Rumsfeld was the Democrat's "Boogieman"
Edited on Wed Aug-30-06 06:34 PM by SeveneightyWhoa
In essence, Dana Bash of CNN just said that in criticizing Donald Rumsfeld on Iraq, Democrats were using him as a "boogieman" on the issue (and not http://dictionary.laborlawtalk.com/boogeyman">an imaginary monster used to frighten children).

Gee, for about five years there, I had begun to think Donald Rumsfeld was actually a real person.

The Secretary of Defense, even.

Thanks for clearing that up, Dana. Didn't realize Democrats were building up a scary, conniving, powerless Rumsfeld into someone with actual power and responsibility for the Iraq debacle. And as a boogieman, as http://dictionary.laborlawtalk.com/boogeyman">Websters describes it, Rumsfeld is merely "a person or thing of which someone else has an irrational fear." Irrational indeed. Stupid Democrats and their boogiemen!

Now just smile and be glad Al-Zarqawi is dead. Rumsfeld killed him for you!

2. It Isn't Irrational To Fear Rumsfeld; He's Batshit Crazy
and he's risen far beyond his level of incompetence. With the war crimes he's committed, he hasn't anything to lose, either.

5. No. She's a journalist/reporter for CNN.
Not a shill, but someone trying to do her job.

Maybe try watching cable if you're going to comment on threads about cable programs. Kinda hard if you don't have access, is it..
