Poll question: Why is Rumsfeld the whipping boy du jour? |
|
Edited on Wed May-20-09 07:11 PM by Shipwack
I mean, I despise him with a white hot passion, and wanted to hit him in the gut with a baseball bat every time he started his "golly gee willikers" doddering grandpa shtick*, but now all these stories have come out about him over the past few days. Why now, and not before?
*Yes, I know that violent fantasies are not healthy either spiritually, emotionally, or physically. I'm a flawed human being and I'm working on it.

by shifting blame to Rummy. Maybe dick is considering a run for the WH and needs some damage control.

7. Why not? The greater mystery is how he avoided being the whipping boy for so many years. |
|
He certainly deserves the negative attention.

"He's a sadistic prick that is now old enough and powerless enough to throw under the bus."

11. He's been the subject of much criticism before, too. He's responsible |
|
for quite a bit of bad shit, so it's only natural people would blame him. Y'know, for the things he did.
