Okay, I don't know if this is true. It is delicious though. I have been running article searches on dummy rummy and have a few article that have popped up. If someone can tell me this is a spoof, fine. I would be good to know, but meanwhile, read it and howl with laughter and fear!

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld can't fall asleep unless he's clutching his G.I. Joe doll, reveals a White House insider.
"Mr. Rumsfeld has to have 'Pvt. Joey' snuggled safe in his arms at bedtime or he's up all night going crazy looking for him," says the source.
"The action figure is more than 40 years old. It's raggedy and missing a leg. Mr. Rumsfeld accidentally ripped it off when he was playing 'Watch Out For Landmines' during a Senate hearing. But it's his most beloved possession."
The insider, an ex-intern who worked with the defense secretary and often visited his home, was tying up a project late one night when he overheard a vicious argument between his boss and wife Joyce Rumsfeld.

Shamelessly eavesdropping on the marital fracas, the insider learned Rumsfeld is obsessively attached to the 10-inch-tall "Real American Hero" because he saved his life.
"He had one of the Joe's in his lap during a luncheon when a passing waiter tripped and two escargot knives plummeted down, point first, toward Mr. Rumsfeld's testicles. "The doll took the hit. If he hadn't, the injury would have changed Mr. Rumsfeld's voice to that of a girlie soprano and ended his political career. Or he could have bled to death if the blades sliced a major artery.
there is more, you just gotta love it.
