This a joke, right?
One solace in this is that Bush, Cheney, Rummy, David Addington and the like can never go to Europe, especially near The Hague.
@BobCens: Didn’t work in Iraq, but they’ve successfully created their own reality in America.
Richard Nixon describing Rumsfeld to Bob Haldeman in 1971, “He’s a ruthless little bastard. You can be sure of that.” Just the kind of guy who is chock full of practical tips that are … useful for a mom running a household. If only all moms everywhere were more like Rummy.

Speed kills. I’m still wondering if I took speed along with Don.
@ManchuCandidate: Speed kills with boredom, yes. All hopped up and nothing to do.
