Rumsfeld refuses to endorse McCain.

Rumsfeld refuses to endorse McCain.

Donald Rumsfeld declined to answer whether he will support Sen. John McCain for president, becoming the Arizona Senator’s latest endorsement holdout. In Feb. 2007, McCain said that Rumsfeld will “go down as one of the worst secretaries of defense in history.” But in May 2004, McCain said, “I am an admirer of Secretary Rumsfeld. I think he is an honorable man.” MyDD has more.

    So one rat won’t endorse another rat. Who cares? I’ll file this under ‘don’t give a rat’s ass.’

    Wow — you mean there are still people out there who care what Rumsfeld thinks or whom he endorses?

    McCain should have saved his breath. Rumsfeld wasn’t worth the flip-flop. Of course, McCain probably flip-flops on pure reflex by now…

    Will this get as much air time as all the supposed “high profile” Dems who have announced their support of McCain?

    Highly doubtful.

    The media will come around to reality at some point between now and November, right? Right?

    PEACE

    Why on earth would McIdiot want Rumsfelds’ endorsement anyhow?? What could Rummy possibly add to the campaign? If McCain had half a brain, he’d be out there announcing that Rummy refused to endorse him, and he’s glad!

    And just who would that be, sweetpea? Besides Zell Miller and Smokin’ Joe Lieberschitz, I mean.

    Rumsfeld, the war criminal, should be asked about torture and his role in this illegal invasion/occupation, not endorsements.


  12. hellinabucket says:

    I’m with you on this conniptionfit. Having Rumy’s endorsement would just give the Dems another example of the 3rd Bush term.

    Tom, guess you aren’t following Josh Marshall’s story over at TPM. That would have been snark. Sorry I wasn’t more clear.

    PEACE

    Rummy was fired in disgrace……who wants anything to do with him? Might as well get an endorsment from olly north. Mcflipper will need all he can get to even be considered relevant in the upcoming elections.


  15. tom says:

    spensers mom –

    Sorry. My bad.


  16. Fred says:

    I mean, you really have to be scum to get fired in disgrace from the bush admin…..does that give you some idea of what a 0 rummy is from now on…..

  18. larkohio says:

    Who would want his endorsement? It is of like the kiss of death. Wish old Don would endorse him, it might help Obama.


  19. pax says:

    Who cares about this arrogant war criminal!!!


  20. paleolib says:

    Agreed lark. This is liable to be spun by McCain’s media fan club as a result of his mythical criticism of the Bush administration.

    You mean Scummy Rummy is taking the moral highroad? BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That’s rich
