Donald Rumsfeld, I will never forget you Today, George Bush acted upon the novel idea to fire Donald Rumsfeld. This comes, of course, after the Republicans got their asses handed to them in yesterday's elections. So let us take some time to remember the Don himself:



Some memorable quotes:

"I would not say that the future is necessarily less predictable than the past. I think the past was not predictable when it started."

"We do know of certain knowledge that he [Osama Bin Laden] is either in Afghanistan, or in some other country, or dead."

"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war."

"There's another way to phrase that and that is that the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. It is basically saying the same thing in a different way. Simply because you do not have evidence that something does exist does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn't exist." -on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction

"It is unknowable how long that conflict [the war in Iraq] will last. It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months." -in Feb. 2003

And how could you forget, the best. Rumsfeld. quote. ever:

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

Here's a known known for you, Donnie. You were the worst Secretary of Defense in the history of the Union.  ¶ 3:32 PM
