Rumsfeld Ramble Wins 'Foot in Mouth' Award

LONDON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's curious statement at a press briefing was named on Monday as the year's most baffling comment by a public figure.




Rumsfeld, usually renowned for his uncompromising tough talking, was awarded the "Foot in Mouth" award for a confusing message which probably left his audience in the dark as to its meaning, Britain's Plain English Campaign said.


"Reports that say something hasn't happened are interesting to me, because as we know, there are known unknowns; there things we know we know," Rumsfeld told the briefing.


"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."

Nevertheless,

Because of this incident, The Rummy is now known for his incoherent ramblings. Thus revealing a flawed set of neurons.

The implosion has begun and is more severe than first thought.

Edit: or, some dude who wrote this for Dummy gonna get scolding, even though Dummy read the damn thing without really looking it over.

Or, it was a set up. The Pubs got comped by a mole. Bwahahahah

They got beat at their own game.

He ment of corse, "don't know" not "know."

I like the statement by Ahnold Schvantzineger:

"I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman," was the odd statement from the new California Governor.

He will bw able to put S.U.A behind his name.The great Speak Up Ass degree. I do think it is doable.

You have a hard time buying this shit, LOL

Amm he has a point. He can just do truthtables in his head, can you? Obv not.

he wouldn't recognize it!

He IS the body double for Skeletor, though!

Known known: Rummy is smart
Known unknown: If Rummy could recognize the truth.
Unknown unknown: Sept 11th. (which made him so prominent with the public.)

bricks, a la the gumbies in Monty Python...he needs a knotted hanky on his head first though...

and has Dry Mouth Syndrome.

BBC radio spent about 6 months taking the piss out of what Runmsfeld said.

nodding their heads and saying 'yeah, he's right you know'.

It makes sense, you just have to try hard. What he says is correct.
