WATCHING RUMMY EAT CROW

This week Rummy was made to eat 2.5 minutes of heaping steaming crow at a speaking event. He pretended to be gracious and humble and made his usual snide jokes and pretended that the Women that raised complaints about his Lies were merely pesty flies at a picnic. Yet out of that melee came a Calm Clear Wellspoken Voice throwing Honest Questions to the Sweaty Secretary, questions based on the Rumster's own Pompous Quotes (lies).And Ray McGovern, of 27 years of Civil Service, most in the Employ of Intelligence, mostly the CIA, asked these questions as a Patriotic Hardworking American. And Rummy pretended to be offended, and then graciously spoke to Security in a patrionizing manner, "Don't take him away yet". Ray was undaunted, and asked The Questions that needed to be asked, based on Rummy's own Verbal Spillage. [ CNN yesterday actually put together a Full Montage of the Mislaid Quotes (lies)of that poor Bastard Poor Rummy]. For this was not some longhaired Kent State Hippy of the Vietnam Era, this was an educated eloquent man with Brass Balls and a sense of Honor. If Ray McGovern ever comes to my hometown he is more than Welcome to Dinner . Who needs Jack Baur ?? We don't, we have Ray. McGovern... He is now officially on my Must Meet and Shake his Hand and say Thank You List.....

Ray McGovern is the guy that used to give Bush Sr. his daily intelligence briefings. I watched the event, Rummy was harpooned.

Good to see you LOC...

27 Years of Ray giving to this Country...and yes I know about those "Intelligence" briefings ( what an oxymoron???).
And I think I need to start a Ray Fan Club- I have been a groupie of his for quite awhile...and of course when he came out and stomped with and for Cindy and the DSM - well, then we all KNEW he was the Salt of the Earth...He truly is one of the most Patriotic Men I have ever seen, and I mean the Real thing...not the war-profiteering-exploit-the- 911 deathes -kind with cheapass metallic flag emblem on their lapel....yup, we need a Summer of the Emperor has NO Clothes Moments...Bring it On...

I really liked the way Ray wasn't mean or spiteful. I hated that Rummy sounded like he was tolerating Ray. Rummy I am sure recognized the man.

First, Ray is barely into his question when the stage mgr rudely barks "Get to your question sir". Then Rummy has to say "no, let him stay" to the goons who are ready to cart away anyone who dares breach their pre-screened fortress. Then after question asked, but not answered ... in fact obfuscations and outright lies spewed by rummy, my cable TV didn't show what happened to Ray McGovern. Did he quietly retake his seat, did he triumphantly stalk away, or did the goons succeed in bouncing him out? This is a man who cannot be so easily dismissed. D.K.

Welcome back to blogland. You were missed but it's nice that you could be a friend to someone in need.

The McGovern/Rumsfeld incident was great. McGovern has the credibility that Cindy Sheehan lacks simply because he is an insider - or was. I think people are inclined to dismiss someone like Sheehan as a nut, but they sit up and take notice when a person like McGovern speaks out.

Hey E4E Sorry to not pop back earlier, but I didn't know you were back on the blogging circut.

Rummy's done - but its going to be a long slow scratching at the side of the tomb experience, much like the sliding of finger nails down a blackboard for this nut job to get removed from office.

I've said it before - as Iraq's fortunes go, so too do Rummy's.

Rummy is much better at interviewing himself.

("Are we doing a great job in Iraq? Heavens, yes. Do I think George Bush is a wonderful president? Goodness gracious, heavens to Betsy, of course he is.")

It is only when he gets questions from someone like Ray McGovern, that he gets flustered.

Unfortunately the lapdog stenographers who call themselves "reporters" don't often ask the kinds of questions that would make Rummy sweat.
