Summary: This book is not political
Comment: It's funny. Our Secretary of Defense has a unique speaking style, often asking a series of rhetorical questions to which he provides responses as though interviewing himself. When some of his more meandering pronouncements are broken into free verse, the effect is hilarious. I bought these as Christmas presents for friends and co-workers and got universally great reactions.
It's too bad people on the fringes can't laugh at others and at themselves. I believe that if you can't laugh at yourself, you don't get life's greatest joke. (Did I write that? Yes, I did. Do I believe it? Absolutely. Thanks, Rummy.)

Summary: Interesting, Illuminating, Quick Read!
Comment: I really enjoyed this book, which contains the poetic musings of our current Secretary of Defense. Portions of his speeches, interviews and press confereces are placed, verbatim, within the structure of sonnets, haikus and other poetic devices. The results are often hilarious. My only complaint is that sometimes, there isn't a meaningful mention of the context in which the words were spoken. I think this book illustrates the fact that if you talk long enough, you are eventually going to sound ridiculous. I think this book is appealing to readers of any political persuasion. It didn't seem partisan in any way.

Summary: Demeaning? If you insist!
Comment: Rumsfeld is brilliant.
Those who read too much into his digs, thinking him silly, are foolish.
Rummy is a master of the English Language and I LOVE it when he mentally bashes the liberal press with his genius, especially when they are unaware of the mental thrashing received.
