Rumsfeld sighting.
Mary Ann Akers reports on a random Donald Rumsfeld sighting in Washington D.C. today. “What was remarkable was how, according to our (Republican) source, Rumsfeld’s handlers had to help him onto the escalator and ‘held his elbow’ and opened doors for him. ‘He looked old,’ our tipster said.” Akers notes that’s a stark contrast from the Rumsfeld who used to stand for 8-10 hours a day and used a stand-up desk in his Pentagon office.

He can sit on a bench and feed pigeons while in prison.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:25 pmYou know, all that lying, cheating and stealing is bound to catch up with you eventually. It looks like it’s catching up with a lot of Bush’s minions. First Tony Snow, and now Karl Rove looks like death warmed over. Then Rumsfield. I have to say that I don’t really feel sorry for any of them because they brought this upon themselves.

well, just imagine the consequences!
August 13th, 2007 at 9:31 pmor
help him onto the escalator and ‘held his elbow’ - whodduthunkit?
…
When Rumsfeld keels over dead from old age, then the entire world will celebrate with champagne.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:38 pmGlad to here that this horrible war criminal is in bad health.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:41 pmtoday i read about rumsfeld ogling this actress when she was @ the WH.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:41 pm
Rumssfeld said that Iraqis were not being tortured when they were forced to stand up for hours naked, and hooded or wires attached to their genitals, so let’s see old Rummy forced to stand till he falls over.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:42 pmHummm, well, the end come’s to all but a bitter and painful end come’s to many….Some diserve it, some don’t….Then we have Karma, Ah yes the real ending or repeat…May your evil haunt you and your good deed’s confort you who ever you are….No escape Rummy…Blessings all
August 13th, 2007 at 9:52 pmAnyone notice since Sen Biden said that crimes members of this admin committed is persuable after they leave office.Ain’t it funny that Rumsfeld now seems feeble.And how about Rove leaving,soon many more members will start suffering from Dementia.
August 13th, 2007 at 9:56 pmMaybe Satan is coming to collect the black and rotted soul that Rummy signed over to him years ago…

August 13th, 2007 at 10:22 pmHe’s applied for membership at Miles River Yacht (St. Michaels) so he can play golf.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:29 pmOh well, if he ever ends up where he deserves to go, he won’t need much strength in that 8×10 cell.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:34 pmBetter people have gotten old.

Older people have gotten better.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:35 pmHe’s laying the groundwork for his Pinochet defense at his war crimes tribunal.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:51 pmI pray that Rumsfeld lives long enough to serve trial for war crimes.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:55 pmTheyve got a nice room for him in hell next to Reagan and Saddam.
Get older Donald….. eternity awaits.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:57 pmRumsfeld is responsible for all of the mistakes made in Iraq. He is also responsible for his insensitivity towards the troops. He never provided the body armor or the up armored humvees needed. He kept sending tired troops to 3rd, 4th and 5th deployments. His age seems to be catching up to him.
August 13th, 2007 at 11:34 pmOssification for jackass is great to hear !
August 13th, 2007 at 11:36 pmyeah, well good. f*ck that pos.
August 13th, 2007 at 11:40 pmI want to see him live to go to trial and found guilty, personally.
August 13th, 2007 at 11:44 pmis anyone surprised that the people who came up with “shock and awe” would be accused of torture?
August 14th, 2007 at 12:05 amI wont make any harsh judgements on the man, I am not his Judge.
I have a feeling alot of the decisions he’s made over the years are weighing heavily upon him.

You’re a very kind person, Zep.
August 14th, 2007 at 12:22 amAnd then there’s Cheney. Black-hearted man that he is, just keeps chugging along until the big one hits. It will hit, won’t it?
August 14th, 2007 at 12:27 amRumsfeld is America’s stud.
August 14th, 2007 at 12:36 amThere’s nothin’ like a couple of wars of imperial aggression to get you all tuckered out, huh? This clown has been doin’ evil since the days of the Presidency of Richard Milhous… That’s shoveling a lot of shit…

August 14th, 2007 at 12:57 amI do look at Rumsfeld and think he must have had a really bad childhood.
You see such evil in his eyes that you know he has some wild ass sex.

I try. I had a friend pass away recently from cancer. He knew his time was growing short in this world. He didn’t really believe in God, not hat it mattered, but it still worried him to no end about some of the things he did in his lfe. He was a street/bar fighter and had seriously hurt some people over the years, among other things, and he constantly fretted over it with no help from anyone.
August 14th, 2007 at 1:55 amAww, poor old guy.
I hope he dies soon.
August 14th, 2007 at 2:01 amI think Rumsfeld is a War Criminal.
But this post seems to have no purpose other than to revel in him becoming elderly. Looking at the comments, it seems everyone is happy about it.
August 14th, 2007 at 2:08 amHell will have a new member to join the other Satan folowers. At lease Rummy will never have to see Pat Tillman in heaven since he will not be going to heaven.
August 14th, 2007 at 2:20 amI thought you dumbass libs didnt believe in God or heaven, proud atheists that you are?
Go suck it you hateful pricks, your “compassionate caring liberal” veneer is starting to peel.
One more thing; be sure to drink plenty of milk.
August 14th, 2007 at 6:43 amhatred has a funny way of killing people off – #34 – you have a rock for a brain-you dont think -you just spew hatred
August 14th, 2007 at 8:23 ammaybe he took one of his company’s bio injections… doesn’t he own in on a lab where they make vaccines??
August 14th, 2007 at 10:46 amMatt Bors-
I think JFK was a war criminal for starting Vietnam.
That makes as much sense as Matt Bors at number 32.
All the Congressmen and women who did not read all the reports before giving authorization to go into Iraq.
How about them too?
August 14th, 2007 at 10:55 am“But this post seems to have no purpose other than to revel in him becoming elderly. Looking at the comments, it seems everyone is happy about it.

It’s not him “becoming elderly” as you put it; it’s the fact that this sphincter who reveled in the political knife-fighting in washington and loved to use his power to knock out his opponents–or anyone who expressed contrary opinions–and whose supporters would go on and on about how “brilliant” and tough he was, who would boast about how long he would be on his feet all day at his stand-up desk in the pentagon, now needs help onto escalators and, presumably, to wipe his ass. Maybe there is justice.
What goes around comes around, and no one is more deserving of the people’s hatred and derision than this misguided architect of a failed war in iraq. I’m surprised more of those who purport to “support the troops”, and with gwb bumper stickers, aren’t similarly moved, since this is the douche bag who didn’t send enough troops to get the job done and prevented any meaningful pre-war planning on how to get iraq back on its feet by blocking any but his hand-picked political operatives from getting involved in the effort. The results of this guy’s “intellect” are there for all to see today in iraq.
Please die soon, rummy; or alternatively, sink slowly into the depths of alzheimers like mr. reagan. For every dollar you and your cronies received from the no-bid contracts you helped engineer in your failed war, I hope there will be a comparable minute of teary frustration as you try to remember the name for that withered scab of bacon you hold in your trembling hands as you urinate yet again on your neighbor’s lawn.
August 14th, 2007 at 11:09 ammike gravel is a true american patriot. are you? then help him get ahead so we can take back our democracy from the billionaires
August 14th, 2007 at 11:11 amoh mongo – withered scab of bacon ?? lol
