    Rummy can always subscribe to one of Murdoch’s rags.

    It’s reassuring to know that at one point in his life Rumsfeld could read. Beyond that, it should be noted that the Krugman piece was in his blog, not the dead-tree NYT. So Rummy can go on reading Krugman in secret.

    2). That makes the second Job she’s blown in a week.

    3). Movie it to the Bronze Age, and Arizonastan won’t … oh, you mean amongst Republicans. In that case, maybe the Bronze Age.
