My man, Dennis Kucinich took on Donald Rumsfeld at the congressional hearing on potential cover ups in the Pat Tillman case. If you have any doubt about Kucinich's abilities or intelligence, please watch the exchange between the two.Rumsfeld tries his usual dodges of the questions and vague responses, but Kucinich doesn't let him off. He calmly persists with his question, rephrasing, repeating, and persisting so that Rumsfeld can't slime his way out of it. My favorite exchange between them:
“Was there a Department of Defense press strategy with respect to the war?” the Ohio Democrat asked.Go Dennis!
“If there was, it obviously wasn't very good,” Rumsfeld quipped back.
The Rumsfeld remark drew Kucinich's ire.
“Well you know maybe it was very good because you actually covered up the Tillman case for awhile, you covered up the Jessica Lynch case, you covered up Abu Ghraib, so something was working for you,” he said. “So something was working for you.”
Rumsfeld angrily denied any cover up “on this matter.”
