[Cocoa]

Yeah, with Carl Levin, Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd, I'm sure Rummy's going to be real worried about Wayne Allard, who is worthless even for a Republican.

Washington, DC, May. 6 (UPI) -- A Republican senator said Thursday Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld should expect "tough questioning" on Capitol Hill Friday.

Rumsfeld will testify to the Senate Armed Services Committee Friday on the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal. He is expected to explain why Congress was not notified earlier about the full extent of the abuse.

"We told him that he needs to be prepared to come forward with some facts and to expect some tough questioning from the members of the Senate Armed Services Committee," said Colorado Sen. Wayne Allard at the Pentagon after a meeting with Rumsfeld.

1. Didn't Rummy Have A Meeting

With four of the Republican members of the committee this morning. I guess that was when he gave them the questions that they're going to ask him.

[mitchtv]

2. tough questions from Allard

what is the capital of North Dakota?

[Cocoa]

4. that would be a tough one FOR Allard

he strikes me as a George W. Bush type of Senator, along with our own Zell.

[coloradodem2005]

6. Yeah...

...we're stuck with him until 2008.

[KAMouflage]

3. Allard a Vet(rinarian)

Used to be our vet when I lived in Colorado. Wet-palmed mortician type. Gives me the creeps.

(But he did take a fish hook out of our racoon's nose once...)

7. did he have a practice with Bill Frist?

I heard Dr. Frist used to take care of stray cats.

[MasonJar]

11. Not stray cats, which would be egregious enough, he adopted

cats from the Shelter and Humane Society so he could cut them up. Anyone who kills animals is a real crazy.

12. Allard needs a distemper shot

He's just another good old boy, that plays games with the truth and calls it politics. I'm referring to the sex scandal at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Shame Shame on this government stamped bona fide asshole.

[paulk]

14. LOL

I know someone who grew up in Berthoud - Allard was her familie's vet when she was growing up. She used the exact same characterization - he "gave her the creeps".

[coloradodem2005]

5. Yup.

Allard is a real tough cookie. Always breaking ranks with the GOP. <sarcasm>

[Gman]

8. Byrd, Kennedy and Carl Levin

are probably the reason he sent Wolfowitz in his place today.

[displacedtexan]

9. Allard: How was your day, Dear?

Rummy: Could've been better, Darling.

[Just Me]

10. He is a member of evil that wants to avoid the light of day!!! n/t

[leetrisck]

13. He couldnn't even answer a tough question from me on C-Span

Just snarled at me thru the TV - he got highly p-----ed.
