Warning: Bullshit can seriously harm health.

No wonder people are baffled about politics, politicians don't speak any damn English!

"I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said, but I know what I think... and I assume it's what I said "

I think my brain just melted in self-defense.

'Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know.'

Jesus H. Christ humping a badger, what the fuck is that guy talking about and how many narcotics did he have to ingest to get the result?

And this just highlights how people butcher the mother tongue. Note the main perps are companies trying to use longer words just because they can espite diminutive ones existing.

There are two ways to talk so that nobody understands you: one makes people think you're smart, and the other makes people think you're retarded. Rumsfeld was going for the former but obviously got the latter instead.

Originaly said by Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman"

Another proof that intelligence is not required in Hollywood or in politics

I think he's trying to say there are the facts we've gotten, the specific questions we need to answer, and then there's some stuff which is so unknown to us we don't have the question or mystery guiding us to search for those facts in the first place.

I wish he'd say it without the added assistance of Babel Fish to translate for the English speakers out there.

The book's tone is set in an almost surreal prelude where an elegant, anonymous New York socialite confesses to Decter that she has Rumsfeld's picture hanging in her dressing room.

Rumsfeld is overrated.

Who is not overrated in the Bush administration ? Their forgein policy is a testament to their incomepetence and inability to lead a great nation like America.
