Turns out Donald Rumsfeld, the worst Defense Secretary in the history of bad Defense Secretaries, even counting fictional ones, including whoever was Defense Secretary when Lex Luthor was President, and who resigned in disgrace the day after the 2006 midterm elections, actually resigned the day before the midterm elections. So we’re two days closer to winning in Iraq than we all thought! MORE »

Rumsfeld had a “change of heart” and decided to actually listen to Congress and show up and deny killing Pat Tillman. These are funny times, as you can usually tell when the sacked Secretary of Defense testifies before a House Committee investigating the fratricide of NFL/Army hero Pat Tillman and the coordinated (but ultimately botched) conspiracy to hide the murder.

Dreaming of doing exactly what Osama bin Ladens tells you to do? MORE »

We’re not historians like the previous winner of the coveted Churchill award, “300″ director Victor Davis Hanson, but didn’t Winston win his war? Because we’re pretty sure Rumsfeld lost every war, and that he also started all those wars, which would make him the natural choice for the less-prestigious Hitler Award. MORE »

It’s bad enough that every single thing the administration has claimed from September 11 onward has been a complete lie, and that they’ve shamed America with two lost wars and drowned cities and record graft and seething hatred of Family Values.
