Aye. Puppy-strangling appears to be growing in popularity with politicians.

Actually, "spectacular" is an appropriate word. Much like the spectacular failure of Enron, the spectacular Bhopal chemical plant accident, and the spectacular disaster of the Exxon Valdez, Rumsfeld has been spectacular.

Errr, wasn't it a 11 year old child who asked him that?

I did misquote him. It was "superb," not "spectacular."

Errr ... no. What are you on about?

Howedar's actually paraphrasing a bit, he did say he was sure he made some mistakes- but he couldn't think of any. Which is practically just as absurd.
