Rumsfield is transforming into Groundskeeper Willie before our very eyes. He’s got that paranoid uneven temper, the kind you back away from slowly while averting your eyes and speaking in a soft monotone. The man’s gone nutters.
The latest has him calling opponents of the Bush administration morally-confused fascists, and going on to make the dreaded Hitler comparison, the mark of any true crazy. His rant continues in his usual forehead-slappingly ridiculous fashion:
… part of the problem is that the American news media have tended to emphasize the negative rather than the positive. He said, for example, that more media attention was given to U.S. soldiers' abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib than to the fact that Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith received the Medal of Honor.
"Can we truly afford to believe somehow, some way, vicious extremists can be appeased?" he asked.
Appeased, yes, and sometimes even elected. Twice.
