Donald Rumsfeld's vocal timbre: C/D?

somewhat sorrowful?!!! the guy's an asshole (and da press jus luvs him for it, doncha know). http://slate.msn.com/id/2080772/

Not sorrowful related to any possible emotion.

Crackly, weedy, maybe begging for pity. Questionable level of manipulation in the search for pity.

He had the unmitigated audacity to complain about the press coverage of the war the other day. I mean really have you ever seen so much mindless boosterism in your life?

Note to the media: just because the Pentagon's propaganda (sorry, that's the Public Affairs) department decides to call it Operation Iraqi Freedom doesn't mean you have to plaster it across the bottom half of the screen along with rippling flags and such.

It's a bit like a 7 year old talking about what he did in the holidays, his reports:

"... and then the Iraqi people thanked us but then the Republican Guard came along and said they were martyrs and then we said that in that case we will shoot you and this is a picture of a tank and..."

"There is no question but that..."

Who the fuck talks like that? What the fuck does that even mean?

He's too scary for words.

Rummy is a July-9er like me!!

Vik is great

It's great that he includes the birthdate of intangibles.

Vile.

Swyagrt's post is great, too.

Rumsfeld's vocal timbre's okay, but you should hear him play the bones:
