Under criticism yesterday by Senator Clinton during questioning in the U.S. Senate, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insisted “that he has “never painted a rosy picture” about Iraq. Rumsfeld insisted that he has been “very measured” and told Clinton “you would have a dickens of a time trying to find instances where I have been overly optimistic.”” Within hours the blogosphere was building a list of instances in which he had done just that. Perhaps what Senators need to start doing is blogging their questions during these sessions, the better to have rebuttal information even before they’ve ended.
