Rummy won't starve. His connections with defense contractors will keep him fat, evil and happy the rest of his days.

GREAT!
The only "appearances" - RUMSFELD, BUSH, CHENEY,
& RICE should be making is for their trial at
the Hague for all their war crimes.

After January 2009 Bush, Cheney, Gonzales, and Rumsfeld need a speaking tour booked in the HAGUE.

If Kansas City doesn't want Rumsfeld, can you imagine the reception Bush is going to get when he goes on his planned foot-in-mouth tour?

If you can't speak in Witchita Rummy, you can't talk anywhere in America. F*cking Fred Phelps the most hated b*stard in America, who pickets troops, and AIDS, and hate crime funerals...he can talk in Witcheta.

I think it would be interesting to hear Rumsfeld speak. I'd like to know how his mind works. I, of course, would object if he was paid to speak. He should never profit from the death and destruction he helped cause. But still, it would be interesting. Just as it would be interesting to hear Hitler or Mussolini or Hirohito or Mao or Stalin or Pol Pot or Bush or Kim Jong Il explain their thoiught process.

There ain't nothing wrong with that part of Kansas.

Maybe what's "wrong with Kansas" (or whatever that book was called) is getting better.

Probably will be a short lived blip of rejections. I wouldn't count on the heartland to have any long lasting brain power.

I hope this is the beginning of a trend, and that when any member of the Bush administration tries to profit from speaking engagements, they are turned down flat.

Well well well, the Pope turns down Condi and now this. Maybe Kansas is turning Blue, or the great state has too many soldiers stuck in Iraq...

As they damn well should. Besides, when Rumsfeld gets picked up and rendered away for being a war criminal, do they really want to be picked up as well?

It's those known

They'll get you every time.

Maybe you have some prepared
