Autopenned Condolence Letters? Oh, Rummy! Email would have been much more expeditious

Rumsfeld to Sign Condolence Letters Himself

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld will now personally sign letters of condolence to families of troops killed in action, after the Pentagon acknowledged signing machines had been used in the past.

In a statement provided to the military newspaper Stars and Stripes and printed in its Dec. 19 edition, Rumsfeld said, 'I wrote and approved the now more than 1,000 letters sent to family members and next of kin of each of the servicemen and women killed in military action. While I have not individually signed each one, in the interest of ensuring expeditious contact with grieving family members, I have directed that in the future I sign each letter.

Bravo, Rummy. You may actually be the very reason that Don Rickles is no longer known as Mr. Warmth. Notwithstanding this, and all that silliness about armor, I'm glad to see that you're staying on with Mr. Bush for his first elected term. When a rat like you hangs on, I figure all the other ones deserting a sinking ship, must be... hmmm... I don't know... maybe...remorseful?
