September 7, 2006 The Rumsfeld Trap; The Difference Between Republicans & Democrats (Haiku)

• Two news haiku inspired by our charming "leaders:"

  The Rumsfeld Trap
  By Madeleine Begun Kane

  Rummy's just one man.
  It's The Policies, Stupid.
  See forest, not trees.

  (Thanks to Matt Yglesias and Atrios for pointing out that those who focus too much on the evils of Don Rumsfeld are missing the big picture.)

  The Difference Between Republicans & Democrats
  By Madeleine Begun Kane

  Republicans chide
  The press, when it tells the truth.
  Dems decry press lies.
