Rumsfeld Calls Tsunami Survivors "Selfish"
http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s3i7151

U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has derided critics of United States tsunami relief efforts as "selfish whiners who don’t have their priorities straight."

The Spoof = similar to The Onion

1. I was hoping it was a joke,
but with Rumsfeld, it had a chance of being true.

3. Rumsfeld is so compassionate, isn't he?
"The United States is spending billions of dollars a week fighting an ongoing, worldwide tidal wave of terrorism. What’s one actual tidal wave compared to that?"


He doesn't have a clue, does he?? How can we have such a stupid, uncaring person in his position?
