Worst. Week. Ever.
Don
Rumsfeld just can’t seem to catch a break. First he was a major casualty of the GOP’s loss in Tuesday’s midterm elections, and now he’s being brought up on criminal charges by Germany:
New legal documents, to be filed next week with Germany’s top prosecutor, will seek a criminal investigation and prosecution of Rumsfeld… for [his] alleged [role] in abuses committed at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison and at the U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs say that one of the witnesses who will testify on their behalf is former Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, the one-time commander of all U.S. military prisons in Iraq. Karpinski… has issued a written statement to accompany the legal filing, which says, in part: “It was clear the knowledge and responsibility [for what happened at Abu Ghraib] goes all the way to the top of the chain of command to the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld .”
Ouch! How about a little lube next time there, Janis?
As if this wasn’t bad enough, Rumsfeld also received word today that he’s been passed over for season 4 of Dancing with the Stars.

normally I like nearly everything on junkiness.com, but I found this tacky and tasteless.
What, too soon?

Well, we can put Hasselhoff on trial, and we’ll see what they think about that!
