I didn’t like it when Rumsfeld did it either. Its arrogant, asking the question and then answering it. Just say what you need to say.
Rumsfeld had good points, like no chair at his desk, working standing up, etc. And he had silly ones too. That manner of speaking sounds retarded.
Did I find Rumsfeld arrogant? Of course I did. Did I like it because he was jamming it to the media? Yes, I did, I liked that too.
