Rumsfeld undergoes shoulder surgery
POSTED: 2:26 p.m. EDT, September 5, 2006

From Jamie McIntyre
CNN Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld underwent elective surgery Tuesday morning for a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder, Pentagon officials said.

He underwent the two-hour operation under local anesthetic and briefly transferred power to Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, officials said.

The defense chief is expected back on the job Wednesday.

1. Tore a muscle either patting himself on the back, or
was it from his wanking off at how he and his cabal are raping America? Inquiring minds want to know!

17. You read my first thought, TechBear.
Or perhaps it's Post-Strutting and Preening Disorder.

3. Patting himself on the back too much?
Maybe they could surgically remove his head from his ass while they're at it, then remove his foot from his mouth?

15. It takes a real contortionist
to put your foot in your mouth while your head is up your ass.

7. :::YAWN:::
Whoop-dee-fucking-do. His shoulder hurts. Boo-hoo.

A minor injury...hardly worthy of a news item, 'cept there'd be so much yakking if he just "mysteriously vanished" for a few days.

Would that he would vanish...permanently.

12. I thought it was a pretext to get rid of him
A Rovian plot to get Rummy out without looking week. VonRumsfeld gets surgery, then has to resign due to medical reasons. But the crusty bastard keeps bouncing back!

Hope they had to go straight through his head to repair it.

24. Meanwhile * pulls a Haig, grabs a mike and proclaims
"I'm in charge!" while everybody else in the room quietly groans and wishes he'd just shut up and pop a few more of his little pills.
