  I'm Glad Bush is Standing by Rumsfeld
 
It's a really good thing that Bush is standing by Rummy through the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandal. This means that George is caught in a classic Monkey Trap. In the jungle, they capture monkeys by cutting a hole in a coconut shell, chaining it to a (...) (20 years ago, 11-May-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I don't actually like him. In fact I cringe whenever I hear him speak. Probably the born again affectations that disturb me.
