It Was All Rumsfeld's Fault

Well, you know I detested Der Rumsfiend. But I shouldn't want to make him teh fallguy and let the rest of the c@#%@#kers go free.

The article in GQ about Rumsfeld adds to the free-for-all that is becoming the GOP/Bush-Cheney cabal’s attempt to run for cover under the hailstorm of revelations coming out about their conduct. (This is precisely why it was so important for them to hold the White House – and why I’m surprised that they did not find a way to do it. Corporate hands must have felt that they couldn’t afford the crashing economy – let the chips fall where they may. )

Rumsfeld is apparently going to be their new scapegoat. Once they lost control of the gate, Libby couldn’t be expected to be enough to satisfy the wolves. The Washington Monthly’s Steve Benen has picked out a specific passage concerning Rumsfeld’s refusal to send troops to New Orleans for an entire week after Katrina.

I would suggest that Rumsfeld buy land in Argentina, if he hasn’t already. On the other hand, these criminals would probably have a better chance of staying out of prison if they stay on American soil. At least here they can be assured of a presidential pardon.


....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
