I just saw on cnn.com that taking place as I write this very sentence is a Donald Rumsfeld "Town Hall Meeting." What's gonna happen there -- an hour and a half of Rummy using his unique ability to avoid answering questions?!!? Perhaps we'll get more gems like these:
"We do know of certain knowledge that he [Osama Bin Laden] is either in Afghanistan, or in some other country, or dead."
"We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
"Well, um, you know, something's neither good nor bad but thinking makes it so, I suppose, as Shakespeare said."
"Learn to say 'I don't know.' If used when appropriate, it will be often."
"If I know the answer I'll tell you the answer, and if I don't, I'll just respond cleverly."
Or perhaps we'll get an hour and a half of Rummy telling us that it's just too complicated for us peons to understand what it is he's discussing. Or -- probably most accurately -- it will be an hour and a half of Rummy giving pat answers to scripted question from his Republican supporters. After all, the only kind of "town hall meetings" in which the GOP can particpate are the ones that offer nothing but complete, unwavering endorsement of the policies already implemented by the GOP. I can't wait for the highlights of this enlightening town hall meeting.
