Given that headlines are such an afterthought here at TPM ( Inaccurate, not-reflecting-the-story, big chunks of HTML etc.) Snarky Headlines at least would be a big improvement. I’m for it.
Gin Rummy would require him to have some friends with whom to play. Solitaire is the perfect game for him and Darth Cheney - at least one can hope.
He didn’t call it “Cakewalk?”
And maybe some more proofreading, while they´re at it.
Words fail me. If they didn’t, “obscenity” might be one that came to mind.
…but if you are dealing with known unknowns vs unknown knowns with the known knowns unknowingly known and being an obfusticator , then we may never know the outcome.
He’s developing an app? Who knew that Rumsfeld spent his spare time learning how to write code?
Does it have a “Stuff Happens” button?
Foghorn Leghorn, " I say, about as sharp as a bowling ball."
Rummy’s’ blizzards’ manifesting now …years after he left his SoD job.
Henney penney, trying to pay the bills and to boost his image all at the same time. Churchill is not pleased.
“A number of hands are simply unwinnable. But the most stupid administration will gamely soldier on to find their way deeper into the quagmire.”
There, fixed it.
Rumsfeld learned about Churchill’s version of Solitaire from André de Staercke
Speaking of unknown unknowns…
“During the war, he became infatuated with Andre de Staercke, a seductive young Belgian diplomat who frequently found himself summoned to late-night drinking sessions by Churchill.”

“Steadfast players will gamely soldier on” eh?
Would you buy a used app from THIS man?? I don’t think so…
Nothing like having “sharpened instincts”. I wonder what sort of sharpening stone he used.
edit
And what is a “known unknown”? If something is “Known” then it cannot be “unknown”.
Rumsfeld’s next app: Go Fish. “Got any WMDs?”
So is spectacularly failed former SecDef Donald Rumsfeld on a “rehabilitation tour” doing Colbert & interviews or is he just pimping his new game app?
In app purchases in a freaking solitaire game?!?
That’s messed up.
It’s an element that you know it exists, but don’t know the specifics of it.
As opposed to the unknown unknowns that you don’t even know are out there. Sort of like Trump running for President and running up the polls. The unexpected.
