1. No shit. He probably
got beat up at school and called four eyes to boot. It's really sad - did you catch John Dean's comments about Rumsfeld on Countdown tonight? Pretty telling...

10. Now, now...let's be fair... he was a fighter pilot
even in peacetime, being a Navy fighter pilot is not for the feint of heart.

I hate the fucker, but be honest... he did do his part.

17. He never served in combat
he may have been a fighter pilot but he has not a clue how to do it with someone shooting at you.

12. Maybe so, but you're not an asshole
And even if you were, Rumsfeld would still tower over you because is a bigger asshole than all other assholes combined.

13. In terms of character, his stature is measured in millimeters.
In terms of decency, intelligence, and general worthiness to dare speak of America and her ideals... there is no scale small enough to measure Donald Rumsfeld.

"Contemptible" hardly begins to describe him, nor all the other vile little Masters of War so hell-bent on destroying our nation with poisonous lies.

25. I hate Rummy, I love Howard Dean
Can we cut it with the height bigotry on DU?

What will we be trashing people about next "hey, he's got a small penis" & "her breasts are only A-cups" - snicker snicker.

Glad we have infantile lounge talk infesting the GD now.
