Rumsfeld 's new argument -- what is it about video Repukes don't get?

I know that they are skeptical of science, but this is ridiculous. It was caught on tape jackass! Between this and George Felix Allen Jr.'s argument that the media misrepresented him, what is wrong with these people?

Rumsfeld reaches out to Democrats

By ANNE PLUMMER FLAHERTY, Associated Press Writer Fri Sep 1, 9:03 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld reached out to Democrats late Friday, opening up the door for them to retract their stinging indictment of him as Pentagon chief.

In a letter to Congress's top Democrats, Rumsfeld said recent remarks he made during a speech in Salt Lake City were misrepresented by the media, including by the Associated Press. Rumsfeld said he was "concerned" by the reaction of Democrats, many of whom called for his resignation and said he was treading on dangerous territory.

1. boy, that's some 'reach out'
in essence, this so-called 'reach out' is simply saying: apologize for being terrorist enablers.

Don't you just love neocon (ill)logic? :crazy:

2. What they really want is the media to sugarcoat these gaffes...
To cut them slack, give them a break, let them skate. That's the credo--it's okay if you're a Republican.
