Donald Rumsfeld wins "The Foot In Mouth Award" from Britain's "Plain English Campaign" for the following statements:

"Reports that say something hasn't happened are interesting to me, because as we know, there are known unknowns; there things we know we know," Rumsfeld told the briefing.

"We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

1. what the fuck is he saying

"we know things we don't know" - what the hell does this mean?

"the ones we don't know we don't know" - no shit sherlock

His boss can't speak English, but even he'd have to try to say something that stupid and nonsensical.

4. I know what he was trying to say.... it is hard to put into words

But, here goes...and God knows I am not a Rummy fan...

Based on intell and photos and such, you can come to "know" things that, as a government, you can not admit to knowing yet.

Know is probably the wrong word, it should be suspect highly, given the, even remote possibility, that what you suspect may be wrong.

He is tripping himself up trying not to divulge things he can't. It is not easy, even for that psychotic lying killing fuck.
