Just when you're sure Jeb Bush has cornered the market on irony (see blog entry of 9/13), along comes Donald Rumsfeld. While speaking at a hearing today, he asked a rhetorical question about whether America should pursue weapons inspections in Iraq or go forward with an invasion. A woman behind him decided the question wasn't so rhetorical after all; she popped up and yelled "Inspections, not war!" Then another protestor popped up and joined in. They were forcibly removed by police officers. Rumsfeld's next line was "In Iraq, they wouldn't be allowed to protest."
