From the library of D.H. Rumsfeld

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has been widely praised and parodied for his masterful handling of the media and uncanny ability to answer questions without revealing information. But few Americans know that he is also a poet. Slate has compiled a brilliant collection of Rumsfeld?s poems, from the exact words of the defense secretary, as taken from the official transcripts. And for those who find The poetry of D. H. Rumsfeld enlightening, you can hear him recite his storied prose in BBC’s Donald Rumsfeld Library of Quotations.
