What’s Rumsfeld doing these days? Maybe Cheney.

From Wikipedia;

Post-resignation activities (2006–2009)

In the months after his resignation, Rumsfeld toured the New York publishing houses in preparation for a potential memoir.[75] After receiving what one industry source labeled “big bids,” he reached an agreement with the Penguin Group to publish the book under its Sentinel HC imprint.[76] Rumsfeld declined to accept an advance and has decided to donate any proceeds from the work to a charitable foundation he established to promote public service among “promising young individuals.”[76] The memoir is due to be released in 2010.[76]

In May 2007, Time magazine reported that Rumsfeld was in the early stages of establishing an educational foundation that would provide fellowships to talented individuals from the private sector who want to serve for some time in government. Rumsfeld would finance the foundation.[77]

In September 2007, Rumsfeld received a one-year appointment as a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University,[78] joining (among others) retired Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, former commander of US forces in Iraq, and fellow conservatives George Shultz and Newt Gingrich. He will participate in the institution’s new taskforce studying post-September 11 ideology and non-state terror.
