ROTFLOL: Today's DOD br iefing--Rummy refers to reporter as "world class thumb-sucker"
News Radio 620, Phoenix ^ | 11/19/2001 | Self

Did anyone catch Rummy at today's DOD briefing? He was in great form again today!!! One reporter asked him if he was "micro-managing" the bombing/maneuvers on the ground in Afghanistan, citing a " news story" which used an "unnamed source" for the allegation.

Rummy responded by saying the news story had "no named sources," and said it was obviously written by a "world class thumb-sucker" (which brought a big laugh).

ROTFLOL--Yah gotta love Rummy!!!

More of these DOD briefing reporters need better stories. They need to see some stories, up close and personal!!!

"world class thumb-sucker" - seems an appropriate term for world class Clinton boot-lickers.

Huge bump for Rummy! The ladies voted him one of the sexiest guys, BTW.

SAW IT! LOVED IT! The comment about quoting the unnamed 4 star was good too. He said something to the effect that none of the sources in the article were disclosed and the made the thumbsucker crack. Yah just gotta love the guy.

Everytime I see Rumsfeld, I'm reminded of how ridiculous Cohen was in that job.

HA! Brit Hume referred to his press briefings as "the best show around these days" the other day. :)

Rummy was in great form today...suggested that if the reporters didn't have enough to do over Thanksgiving holiday, they could suit up and go earn terrorist bounty reward $$$.
