Rummy Invests in Wingnut Futures

The neocons, never ones to think small (The Project For The New American Century’? Not quite as grandiose as a thousand-year reich, but getting there) are already building their new power base post the inevitable Bush crash and burn, the better to exploit the resulting political and economic chaos. I think we know where we’ll be seeing Wolfowitz, Libby and all the other slugs forced from office pop up next…

Donald Rumsfeld has been resurrected from whatever crypt he’s been lurking in to do the initial spadework:

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will shun the defense sector and create a non-profit foundation that works on issues dealing with the United States and foreign policy, according to a report in Friday’s Washington Times.

“He’s considering a lot of things but he wants to remain engaged in public policy issues…

Engaged in public policy issues = continuing to plot for a corporate dictatorship.

….and is in the process of creating a foundation that would involve teaching and research fellowships for graduate and post-graduate students,” Larry Di Rita, Rumsfeld’s former Pentagon spokesman, told Bill Gertz in his weekly “Inside the Ring” column.

All those True Believers, all those Monica Goodlings and Kyle Sampsons, have got to know they have somewhere to go after all the hearings. Otherwiise they might tell all.

Di Rita went on to say the foundation would focus on promoting “continued U.S. engagement in world affairs in furtherance of U.S. security interests.”

As above but insert ‘global’ before ‘corporate dictatorship’.

“Mr. Rumsfeld has not decided on writing his memoirs, but if he does, all proceeds would go to support the foundation,” Gertz reported.

“Oh Georgie… I’ll say it was all your fault. We’re outta here with the swag.Ciao, sucker!”
