Dan Savage meet Don Rumsfeld

April 12, 2003 1:19 PM

Donald Rumsfeld is a man of many talents. Earlier in the month we found out he is a poet. Well, not only is he well versed in defense policy, but sex advise as well. Watch out Dan Savage!

Classic. Yeah, that was the line that got me, too, literally laughing out loud. Which is what we're supposed to be doing when we LOL, right?

BTW: Advise is a verb--advice is a noun.

Rumsfeld also was a dogged wrestler in college and took part in a legendary match.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf could kick his butt, I figure.

See, to me, the poetry things were funny because they were actually quotes from Rumsfeld. His language was already so obfuscatory and obtuse that adding a couple line-breaks made it look like the sort of poetry you pull out of a creative writing workshop at college.

This was pretty limp by comparison.
