Last year I bitched in no uncertain terms about the media’s love affair with Donald Rumsfeld- I had just read several stories over a couple of days that laughed off Rummy’s leaked memo- you remember- the one that conflicted with all of his public statements to the press? Yeah, that one.

So the reporters, after Rumsfeld held another press conference and lied to them all again, reported it as “vintage Rumsfeld.” They actually lauded him for bullshitting them. The press laughed it off, apparently forgetting that our troops were dying every day for this lying sack of shit.

Now, with Rummy’s inevitable firing well on it’s way, (I’m starting that rumor here and now…) the press has finally turned- I just did a search on Google News and there’s only one reference to “vintage Rumsfeld” and that’s from a retired Pentagon hack, not a reporter.

The days of the press giving Rummy a wink and a nod when he lies to them appear to be at an end.

My question to the press: Where the fuck were you when it mattered?
