1. Poor Rummy. He thinks spin is gonna save his ass.

How delightful to speculate that Cheney is having fits that shake the Pentagon and giving Rumsfeld hell like he has never known.

[Captain Hilts]

2. That's called the "Full Ginsburg" after Lewinsky's attorney that...

bowled a strike and got on ALL the Sunday chat shows.

[stevedeshazer]

5. Nice. I prefer to think of it as the "Rumsfeld Farewell Tour"

:) Coming to a tee-vee near you.

[SpiralHawk]

21. "Full Ginsburg" followed "Full Cleveland"

A Full Cleveland, if memory serves, was a 70's THING where the men wore white shoes, ties, and belts with their polyester suits.

One could of course wear a partial Cleveland, but the real dandys went for the Full Cleveland.

[stevedeshazer]

25. Uh-oh. I plead "no contest".

:(

[SpiralHawk]

30. Go ahead and splurge. Get yourself an outfit

You never know, it might work for you. DUers could be the ones to bring this "fashion" back on the scene and make it a groovy, happening thing -- maybe even the uniform of the New Proles.

As for me, alas, I am a sartorial disaster case and thus an unlikely candidate for a Full Cleveland.

[stevedeshazer]

32. I'm in

[Johnny Noshoes]

47. Oh no

having flashback - really bad 70's fashion :)

[POAS]

38. I think a full Parma

was white socks with dress clothes.

(For those that don't know, Parma is a Cleveland suburb)

[kath]

40. Heh. Channeling The Ghoul, eh?

[POAS]

45. Nah, I go back farther than that,

I'm channeling the Ghouls predecessor, Ghoulardi created by the late Ernie Anderson.

Stay sick!

[madrchsod]

3. cool------

death and destruction sunday!!!!

[1932]

4. They should ask him when he's going to have his McNamara moment

when he finally realizes after years of arguing that more soldiers and more bombs will win the war that it actually won't.

[stevedeshazer]

15. There's a definite resemblance

In more ways than one.
Robert McNamara:

Donald Rumsfeld:

[Nitrogenica]

18. Perhaps he can explain the plan to us.

I don't wanna hear that "We'll stand down when Iraqis stand up" bullshit.

Their plan is to continue to kill and kill and kill. Someday, in the aftermath of the publicly accepted and politically spun genocide, the great Christian nation of Iraq will be established. Then we get the oil.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

20. Actually, that's the real problem

A good friend of mine who's been a Marine for 22 years, who comes from a Marine family, and who is now a Lt. Col. in the reserves (he says he'll resign his commission if they try to call him up for this one - he did Desert Storm) tells me that he hears from his compatriots who are over there that the Iraqis will NOT be trained, that they run away and disappear, and that they (the Marines) are convinced that there will never be any kind of cohesive Iraqi military force.

Good thing we disbanded Saddam's army as soon as we took Baghdad, huh?

What blockheads.

[stevedeshazer]

22. Yes, it appears that the whole "training the Iraqis" meme is bogus.

Disbanding the Iraqi Army was a colossal blunder. The toothpaste is out of the tube now.

[aquart]

36. No, we won't get the oil. That's a neocon delusion of power.

After we beggar ourselves murdering sufficient Iraqis, the nearer neighbors like China, India, Russia, and Europe, will find a reasonable excuse to ride to the rescue of the pitiful survivors, oust us, and take the oil, while being congratulated as liberators.

We will be reviled, and weak, and oil-less. Because we won't have the money to buy any, either. THAT is the natural outcome of this stupid stupid stupid adventure.

[Captain Hilts]

39. Remember when they had that Sec. Defenses reunion and they...

were photographed together? There was a big picture of them shaking hands in the NYT. It was very, v e r y creepy. The resemblence.

[AntiCoup2K4]

44. Try THIS resemblance!!

[Maggie_May]

6. I guess with

looking at Rummys face all day I am going to have to do a lot of drinking or throwing up which ever takes place first.

[butterfly77]

7. Where's Cheney ?

there should be a head to head with Murtha. He's waiting to hear Murtha so that he can counter him in his speech Nonday.

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Cheney has met his match with Murtha. Murtha will mop the floor

with bloated boy.

[nickyt]

16. lessee, USMC, 37 years - vs - 5 deferments...front row seat, anyone?

[OldLeftieLawyer]

24. I'm thinking

it would sort of be like God meeting Satan in the ring.

Popcorn. LOTS of popcorn.

[TheCowsCameHome]

8. My, Donald, you're going to have a busy day -.

Getting your lying ass whipped, I hope.

[jimshoes]

9. Hey rummy,

tell us about that exit plan. You know, the secret one.

[Midnight Rambler]

11. Director of the CDC, a rep from the WHO...

Looks like they're going for a bird flu distraction. Guess they figured out that orange alerts don't work anymore. It's really starting to get pathetic.

[ThoughtCriminal]

12. They usually bring out Rice

When they are really afraid to show up.

[laststeamtrain]

13. It's a regular Rummy-a-rama...

Pass the Dramamine and stupid pills.

[Labalanza]

14. Department of

redundancy department...I guess this 'splains why MSM is being accused of being mouthpiece of the party lie, er, line...at least NBC is taking a different tack.

[feistydem]

17. This tells me that Rummy refused to face Murtha on MTP.

Chickenshit.

[stevedeshazer]

19. I'm really glad you noticed that irony

Murtha would kick Rummy's ass.

[feistydem]

29. Or maybe Murtha refused to be at the same table with Rumsfeld?

It might be difficult for him to resist leaping over the table to strangle the bastard.

[Norrin Radd]

23. I hope they ask Rumsfeld about all that recalled armor:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051118/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/body_armor_recall_2

Are they ever going to have body armor? Or are we still going to war with the army we have?

[stevedeshazer]

27. Not the army we want.

Welcome. :)

[Norrin Radd]

37. Thanks for the welcome.

[Cha]

26. So mtp is the only one

that will show Murtha's face?

And all the rest have freaky rummy on..to spin, lie, spin, lie? Where's the balance?

[stevedeshazer]

33. Big time. And they pair Murtha with "disease" and "epidemic"

Big time.

Speaking of that, where the hell IS ol' Big Time?

[wryter2000]

28. Holy shit

Couldn't they find anyone better? He's going to look like a total nitwit in comparison to Murtha. I would have gone with McCain.

[stevedeshazer]

31. McCain was busy the last three Sundays or so running for President.

Joe Biden will back up McCain this time.

[Cha]

34. Good, biden can dig

himself in deeper.

[TheGunslinger]

35. ooof....gonna sleep in on this one.

[radio4progressives]

41. Thanks for the alert - I'll make sure not to watch... n/t

[Popol Vuh]

42. If there were ANY justice

He and the rest of his coward ass war criminal friends would be hauled off in chains and shackles and delivered to the people they victimized.

[AntiCoup2K4]

43. Looks like a long morning for Rummy

I'd feel sorry for the guy if he wasn't a heartless murdering bastard.

[Johnny Noshoes]

46. Kinda OT

But has anybody ever heard Mike Malloy do his bit about Rummy on acid? Talk about funny.

"Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough."
-- Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President (1882-1945)

[depakid]

48. Why can't the Dem "leadership" get Biden off these shows

He and Liebreman hurt the party EVERY time they go on (which is why the corporate media likes them so much).

Dems are going to have a VERY hard time making any gains unless they can do something to muzzle their DINO's.

[NightOwwl]

49. I'm too excited to go to sleep....

I am so looking forward to the scaredy-cat-spin from the regulars, plus the added bonus of watching Schmidt go down in flames!

[OneGrassRoot]

50. Has anyone within *co served in active duty? n/t

[kid a]

51. D (sic) - cute!

[No Exit]

52. Wonder if he'll say "Did you see the New York Times today?"

Bwaaahahaha. It worked for Cheney in the lead-up to this fraudulent war.

[zann725]

53. Rummy's gettin' around more than Gannon/G with a 'private' press pass!

He's gonna be one tired guy by at day's end...in an era that appears to have just begun and is growing...all from a tiny dusty road in Texas in August, and one determined mom.

Go Murtha! Go Cindy! Go all!
