A Sign of Rumfeld's Desperation

You know a right-wing Republican is in trouble when they go to Rush Limbaugh to try and restore their credibility. Firedoglake has the story:

There are two signs that a Republican is in trouble. One is they start talking about Bill Clinton. The other is they book an interview on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show. It’s a coveted spot. A request and opportunity that can’t be denied.

Rush Limbaugh rarely does interviews on his show. It’s all bluster, all b.s., all the time. But when his boys and girls get in trouble, they can always count on Rush inviting them in for a little informal chat. He’s done it with Deadeye. Yesterday he did it with Rummy.

Rush Limbaugh is not in charge of the Pentagon so I don't bother to keep track of his whoppers anymore but it was a sign of the times some years ago, in the 90s, when Limbaugh was introduced at a gathered as 'a distinguished journalist.' Yikes. Imagine the arm-twisting that must have taken place get that little introduction!

Rumsfeld: "We know where the weapons are."
Bush: "Bring it on!"
Cheney: "insurgency in its last throes..."
Rumsfeld again: "Stuff happens."

Do we really need a third war in Iran? How many Americans want to trust these three incompetents?
