pudge's Journal: Kennedy VS Rumsfeld

I loved the exchange yesterday between Teddy and Rummy. It starts at about 3:45 in and goes until about 7:00. It goes well beyond, and is far more interesting, than the quip many have reported about Rummy having offered his resignation (which was already reported months ago).

Fight Night

By your subject line, I was hoping that there would actually be fight. Too bad; Rumsfeld would have kicked Kennedy's butt.

I don't know - Rummy is awfully tough, but alcoholics tend to have high thresholds of pain.

And we already know Ted's in good enough shape to be a pretty strong swimmer.

Hmmm... I'll say Rummy still wins, but Ted lasts until the 8th round. Or until DT kicks in. Whichever comes first.

I kept thinking...

Rummy would make it personal and say something about JFK and Vietnam including the word "quagmire".

That's the great thing about Rummy. He won't do that, not to someone like Kennedy. He will get a scalpel and carve your heart out meticulously, without getting any surrounding tissue, rather than just sticking his fist through your ribs and tearing it out.
