Rumsfeld's known unknowns (commenting on wmd's)

Just a reminder to anyone else that's as happy as I am that this fuckwad is out of office.

I've always thought this was faint criticism. Laying aside your thoughts on Rummy or his boss, what he's saying is true about life, isn't it? There are things that I know, and things that I'm well aware that I don't know (such as how to fix my ailing fridge), and things that I must be clueless about even existing.

It's like trying to demonstrate that Bush is a mentally retarded villain by showing that he's a poor public speaker. Find real reasons.

Well the most major concepts like gravity or stuff like that originally belong to the realm of things you don't know you don't know.

I think less useful is things you don't know you do know.. like all of the lucky charm shapes.

And most people are well aware of the you know you don't know it stuff like astrophysics and how to integrate across the surface of an rectangular solid.

Wallace, Rumsfeld was responding to an inquiry about wmd's in Iraq, not commenting on life. That's why it's such an asinine, flaccid statement, and the perfect example of his ability to dodge every important question that's ever been asked of him.
