Idiot savant: Yesterday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld demonstrated to reporters his grasp of the fine details and keen insight into the nuclear standoff with North Korea:
“We’ve seen them do things in multiples rather than singles. And of course, very recently they fired off some missiles — six or eight, as I recall, shorter range — and then the Taepo Dong II. There is speculation that they might want to do something additional. There’s also speculation they may not.”
Reading that, I can’t understand why folks are clamoring for Prez Bush to fire Rummy, can you?
