LOL...

Bob Beckel: Bob Beckel is an American radio and television personality, he is a liberal pundit and loyal expositor of the Democratic Party. He is seen frequently on political talk shows, including those of Sean Hannity and Larry King. Beckel worked on the 1968 presidential campaign of Robert F.Kennedy and later volunteered in the Peace Corps. Beckel has also worked as a consultant and advisor to several Democratic candidates.

Donald Rumsfeld: Donald Henry Rumsfeld (born July 9, 1932) has been serving as the 21st United States Secretary of Defense since January 20, 2001, under President George W. Bush. He is the oldest person to have held that position, and was also the youngest when he served as the 13th Secretary of Defense from 1975 to 1977 under President Gerald Ford. If Rumsfeld serves as Secretary of Defense until November 2007 he will become the longest serving Secretary of Defense/War in U.S. history. Rumsfeld also served in various positions under President Richard Nixon, as well as four terms in the United States House of Representatives, and as U.S. ambassador to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) (1973-1974). He served in the U.S. Navy from 1954 to 1957 as an aviator and flight instructor, training in North American SNJ basic trainers and later flying Grumman F9F Panther fighters. In 1957, he transferred to the Ready Reserve and continued his Naval service in flying and administrative assignments as a drilling reservist until 1975. He transferred to the Standby Reserve when he became Secretary of Defense in 1975 and to the Retired Reserve with the rank of Navy Captain in 1989. He has also served as an official in numerous federal commissions and councils. For example, as Defense Secretary, he organized a committee to conduct a deep historical analysis of ancient empires to try and understand how they sustained power and influence.[1] Rumsfeld married the former Joyce Pierson in 1954. They have three children and six grandchildren.

Well, I know who I would put my money on here...If you were in a burning building, who would you want on the sidewalk outside...Beckel or Rumsfeld. Oh, wait...that question has already been answered...:)
