This is downright memeworthy.

P.S. Afghanistan is FUBAR and my hair is on fire. BRB. TTYL!

I miss his poetry. Nobody did war crimes with such great meter.

Dick Chenney translated: "I could get that dumb MF to do anything I asked him to do for me."

Re: the Pakistan problem. We need this resolved by tomorrow at 8 am and a soundbite by 9 am. Thanks.

Simplistic morons.

Andrea Mitchell had a lengthy one on one with him this afternoon. She actually asked him some real QUESTIONS!
-which he did not answer. Never heard of Curve Ball, I haven't read any of the books that contradict my version, and Colin Powell never said he was snookered. Who ya gonna believe- me, or all of those other liars??????????

No doubt about it - Next time we go to war in two countries, we shouldn't leave the planning to a man who is as smart as a bag full of hammers, or rocks, or dirt clods!

Rumsfeld has proven himself to be Donald Dumbsfeld! -Kevo

Please handle. Thx.

From Monty Pyton's "How to Rid the World of All Known Diseases":
Alan: Hello.
Noel: Hello.
Alan: Well, last week we showed you how to become a gynaecologist. And this week on 'How to do it' we're going to show you how to play the flute, how to split an atom, how to construct a box girder bridge, how to irrigate the Sahara Desert and make vast new areas of land cultivatable, but first, here's Jackie to tell you all how to rid the world of all known diseases.
Jackie: Hello, Alan.
Alan: Hello, Jackie.
Jackie: Well, first of all become a doctor and discover a marvellous cure for something, and then, when the medical profession really starts to take notice of you, you can jolly well tell them what to do and make sure they get everything right so there'll never be any diseases ever again.
Alan: Thanks, Jackie. Great idea. How to play the flute. (picking up a flute) Well here we are. You blow there and you move your fingers up and down here.
Noel: Great, great, Alan. Well, next week we'Ll be showing you how black and white people can live together in peace and harmony, and Alan will be over in Moscow showing us how to reconcile the Russians and the Chinese. So, until next week, cheerio.

Wow. Let's recall that Rumsfeld did not just write a memo expecting one person to solve the US's problems with Syria, Libya, Pakistan and (N) Korea.

He addressed that email to a man who Tommy Franks called "the fucking stupidest guy on the face of the earth."

What could go wrong??

Dammit! I just solved the Pakistan problem, but then sneezed and forgot the answer. I hate it when that happens.

This would be funny if it weren't so fucking tragic.

Donald Rumsfeld: a bedpost with delusions of intelligence.

What's worse is that Rummy posted this himself...like he's proud of it.

When did utter morons become di rigeur in the highest levels of government? No wonder Palin is so popular. Christ, it's hard to say which of these mental geniuses is dumber.

So he shouldn't have delegated that one?

I think we are seeing some of the known unknowns coming to fruition.

Donald had the idea that we could beat the sh*t out of any country, hence Shock and Awe. I would say that Tunisia/Egypt/Libya are a different kind of shock and awe.

Donald represents all that is wrong with this country, the MIC arrogance personified.

yes, Rummy's appearance on Mitchell's show today was memorable....the wife of the man who pretty much single handedly is responsible for the policies that ruined the US Economy and propped up the Bush regime, trading lies and accusations with the man who pretty much single handedly destroyed the US Military reputation and propped up the Bush war on Iraq. ugh. Both Republicans, of course.

You don't need to convince me that Rumsfeld was horrible as were pretty much all GWB appointees, but this seems a bit unfair. No one here has ever sent a short e-mail/memo to colleagues alerting them to certain things that need to be done?

I believe that the full and accurate quote from Cheney was Rumsfeld was the best Secretary of Defense that the Military-Industrial Complex has ever had!

In a just world, Donald Rumsfeld, Robert McNamara, and all of the other architects of empire would spend eternity contemplating their dreams of conquest as "Little China Girl" played in the background:

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes

My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) is ready to ... end legal prostitution, which he believes may be an impediment to economic development...

Me too! However, I would start with Washington, D.C. Of course, if that happened our senators and congress-critters would have to find other sources of campaign funds. Might even need to start representing all the people in their states and districts.

Donald Rumsfeld was, by the way, the Secretary of Defense for six years

October 1975 to January 1977 plus January 2001 through December 2006 is considerably more than six years.

This explains the idiotic "known unknown" and "go to war with the army you have" comments.

Dumbsfeld is a slow-mutant moron.

We need to figure out how they get the cream filling inside of Twinkies. I want this marked prioty one.

Get back to me on this ASAP.

Also, one of the generals mentioned armoor for the troop carriers, but I wasn't really listening. Why are these guys trying to get armor when we've already accomplished the mission? What a bunch of wimps.

The rest of the memo:

"Oh, and I'd like a pony. See what you can do. Thx."

Rummy was certainly the deep thinker we all suspected he was.

In fairness to Rumsfeld, he wrote almost exactly the same memo every day for six years. He was the first cabinet secretary to master the art of Mad-Libs Management.

He once said: "If they wanted more detail, they should have asked for more nouns."

He manages mostly by Sodoku now. Hard to follow, but I understand it means he is a tortured genius. Or is that a Torture genius in some dazzling code?

We also need to solve the Pakistan problem.
And Korea doesn't seem to be going well.
Are you coming up with proposals for me to send around?

It's almost a haiku. Brilliant. Probably would have worked if he had just closed his eyes and wished even harder with all his heart.
