Rumsfeld laughing last year about the war on terror
I can't stop thinking about all of the times that Rumsfeld was laughing while being interviewed last year at the press conferences. He would make a joke and the "press" would laugh along with him about the war on terror.

If anyone else remembers this can you help me get links to the conferences that show him laughing while he was being asked questions by the press on a daily basis.

C-Span might have it but I am not that computer savvy and I need help locating his briefings because they keep haunting me.

He kept laughing and making jokes about the war on terror.

1. Sitting behind a desk and eating delectable items from the Pentagon..
..cafeteria, you tend to be in a looser, jollier state of mind than the men and women whom you've sent off to die. Knowing that you're well-protected from the terrorists you help create adds to that reassuring feeling, I'm sure.

2. Rumsfeld made jokes about the war
I wish someone would put him out to fight his war on terror on his own.

3. Just today he was joking and saying to the troops "I'm a survivor"
like he's all proud of it.

Disgusting asshole.

I'm surprised the troops didn't just shoot him on the spot.

8. I watched that for a while
earlier this evening on C-span, realized he only bothers me a tiny fraction as much as Bush bothers me, and wondered why. I watched his entire speech, as a matter of fact, when I wouldn't have been able to take more than 10 seconds of Bush doing and saying the same things. He strikes me as sincere. If I didn't hate what he does, I might like him. That's what makes him scary. And the ease with which he jokes - indeed, the jokes come far too easy. (Notice how often he says "indeed"?) And that smile is pure evil. So why don't I hate him with a purple passion? I gotta work on that.

4. Has anyone seen, recently, the sickening Bush-Cheny-Rummy
sneer and smirk we got whenever they were questioned on TV?
The "I don't give a f what you think"attitude seems to have gone somewhere and Bushites can't seem to locate it....
These 3 are no where near as tough as their smirks suggested.
They look like deer in the headlights.

5. Ah, the salad days of ChimpCo.
Unfortunately, they got their salad tossed.

6. Remember when he was dubbed the 'senior sex symbol' ?
Apparently some little old ladies got a little hot and bothered with his routine ... he took a lot of ribbing from the * admin. Bet he ain't lookin' so hot now ... :)

It was the same time as he was making jokes about the "War on Terror".

10. They make me sick
How can they look people in the face without feeling guilty of what they have done to humanity.
