Rumsfeld Awarded Medal of Failure
No matter how badly they screw up, nobody leaves the administration without accolades and honors.
America's worst-ever secretary of defense isn't officially gone yet, so there's sure to be some ceremony in the Rose Garden involving a scepter and knight's armor or something, but in the meantime here's a picture of Donald Rumsfeld proudly wearing the fancy medal he was awarded on Friday .
The gold medal in question was given by Philadelphia's Union Club, which has boldy moved away from offering honors to successful people like Sandra Day O'Connor.
