Good Night, And Good Luck Mr. Rumsfeld

Here is wonderful take by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann on a speech Sec. of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld made earlier this week in front of the American Legion in Salt Lake City. In case you missed the speech, here is a slate.com analysis of the speech.

Since that is a bit slanted, here are a couple of links:

Here is the AP story on the speech.

Here is the official transcript of the speech.

Rumsfeld reminds me of a tired old man who has given up and only parades himself because he has to parade himself. Clearly his speech writer overstepped the boundaries of decent debate and discourse, but I shouldn’t be surprised. Look at the past five years, debate in this country is non-existent. It is just a bunch of extremes shouting over the uninformed or lazy masses in the middle.

Good night, and good luck, indeed…
