Rumsfeld makin' us proud

Donald Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, is known for saying things that are usually unsubstantiated, and almost never correct. Moreover, Rumsfeld seems to enjoy telling people stories to get some sort of reaction but they are usually about Middle Eastern affairs. Earlier today Rumsfeld became an expert on yet another topic, Latin American President Hugo Chavez. In a press conference at the National Press Club, Rumsfeld compared the Venezuelan elected President with Hitler, and his evidence was that he shows animosity towards U.S. foreign policy and that he is populist. Though the article seems to blow up something dismal, it was still insane for Rumsfeld, a high-ranking U.S. official to compare Chavez to Hitler. Link to the story here.
