Quote of the Day

Vice President Dick Cheney at the ceremony honoring outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld:

In his regard for our people in uniform, in his unwavering strength through unprecedented challenges, in his example of leadership and patriotic service, I believe the record speaks for itself: Don Rumsfeld is the finest Secretary of Defense this nation has ever had.

Not to be outdone, President Bush lay it on thicker.

This man knows how to lead… and the country is better off for it

Sigh.
