This enjoyable essay summarizes the many faults of Donald Rumsfeld (the least of which is his propensity to cheat at squash).

There can be little serious doubt that Rumsfeld and his policies represent ground zero at the epicenter of the political and strategic disasters erupting around and steadily engulfing the Bush-Cheney White House in what is now a groaning sea of grief. But, the concerns over Rumsfeld's problems are worse, much worse.

Meanwhile, in his struggle to be reelected, Republican Rep. Chris Shays says Rumsfeld must go.

    Mr Rumsfeld often won points by failing to get out of the way after hitting a shot, so his opponent had little or no chance of returning the ball. (The Times
    What a twerp.

    It is a great summary, but what I felt reading it wasn't exactly enjoyment.

    "Mr Rumsfeld often won points by failing to get out of the way after hitting a shot, so his opponent had little or no chance of returning the ball." Well, jeez, the way I see it that would be a pretty good excuse to smack the old creep in the head with my racket.

    Marvelous article. I love it. I just started state of denial and the reason shrub picked rumsfield was because of his animosity with Bush Sr. That was the selling point. He was impressed with him and had him slated for another position but, the big thing was his dad's extreem dislike of Rummy.
