Shameless Self-Promotion

Rummy was really full of himself today, telling his relatively captive and definitely hand-picked audience that he's a
survivor because anyone deigned to ask him a few tough questions about his conduct.

This from a man who took a few hours out from his tony DC party circuit and his huge, comfortable, air conditioned office to do a photo opportunity - what Chris Matthews just called a happy-golucky, victory lap, Bob Hope-Bing Crosby road trip moment - to men and women who have been overworked, badly quickly, perhaps even worse informed, and in harm's wife every second of the day. This, while we continue to hear how much worse these other pictures from Taguba are and after we learn that - contrary to what the admin's been telling us - Nick Berg was indeed in US custody.
