This cracks me up:

Rumsfeld once said: "As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know

^^^ Seems like a logical statement to me.

Nah, it's quite real. I made a thread about it a while back when he said it because his statement was so hilarious and yet oddly scary.

[Drosselmeier]

It's true though. He just said it in the most convoluted way imaginable.

I remember when this was last posted and alec baldwin(I think) had a quote that won that award and I have used it as my away message ever since.

[Drosselmeier]

Post it then, you tease.

I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe and somebody said I was a snake, I'd think 'No, actually I am a giraffe.

I don't have who said it on my away message your gonna have to use your imagination. Maybe it was Charlie Sheen, that might be who it was.

'Twas Richard Gere who said that.

A few more Rummy goodies...

and

"Mm-hmm. It--my view of--of the situation was that he--he had--we--we believe, the best intelligence that we had and other countries had and that--that we believed and we still do not know--we will know."

And the best one of all...
