Well, as we know, there is one known that we now know – there are still other unknowns in known parts of the country – but this we know: with Rumsfeld there will be no more unknowns as he is now known to be no more and we no longer need to worry over his known knowns, known unknowns, and the ones he doesn’t know that he doesn’t know.
The above is my fond toodaloo to Rumsfeld. I thought it fitting to write a farewell that made as much sense as he often did:
“Reports that say something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” – Donald Rumsfeld
John Lister, spokesman for the campaign, which strives to have public information delivered in clear, straightforward English, said: “We think we know what he means. But we don’t know if we really know.”
And just so we’re perfectly clear, please DO let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
I could not agree with you more, Miss Possible. Sayonara, Rummy! Tell Ashcroft hello for us. Oh, and make room for Denny Hastert. He’ll have a lot more time on his hands soon.
