If McNamara is in possession of his marbles now, it would be but a recent development. On the contrary, I would suggest that his middle name is probably as appropriate now as it ever was.

I think he's going to challenge Abbie Hoffman in the longevity stakes, I've taken him off my Celebrity Death Pool, that's for sure.

It was funny, on the day they dumped Rummy NewsRadio had someone interviewing an ancient-sounding but still evidently in possession of his marbles Robert MacNamara about it - apparently Bob'd had Rummy over just a few days before. Two shriveled old prunes, both candidates for worst SecDef in history having dinner together. I wonder what they talked about. Kim: Wow, Cheney’s only 66?

Let me thank Jeff for his kind words, words of welcome. I also want to thank Governor Riley for joining us. Where is Bob? Right down here. And Congressman Spencer Bachus with us, as well, too, and your state Chairman, Mike Hubbard. I came here directly from the White House, and I'm pleased to bring good wishes to all of you from the President of the United States, George W. Bush. (Applause.)</blockquote> http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/04/20070402-6.html It's a "joke", apparently. Sure is! Cheney at a recent fundraiser:

They're advocating Dick Cheney to run for the GOP. Was Satan unavailable? Satan would probably get a few more votes... Running Cheney would get the Democrats not just the White House, it might even get them a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. Hmmm. They’re advocating Dick Cheney to run for the GOP.
