    You wanna know why I didn’t sign those letters? I got The Claw in ’82 during a Pacman tourney. Haven’t been able to hold a pen since.

  2. Jason says:

    Well, that’s no ordinary rabbit. That’s the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! He’s got huge, sharp – eh – he can leap about – look at the bones!

  3. sortapundit says:

    You push your index and ring fingers into his eye sockets and your thumb up his left nostril, like so, and if you tap his forehead with your middle finger juuuuust right, his face explodes.

  4. sortapundit says:

    Looking in mirror

    You’re a tiger – RAARRR! Now go get ’em.

  5. Eric says:

    “Then, while this hand was pinching her nipple…”

  6. McGehee says:

    “You got a complaint about lack of armor on Humvees? Talk to the gnarled old hand!”

  7. McGehee says:

    Rumsfeld: “These are not the condolence letters you’re looking for.”

    Reporter: “These are not the condolence letters we’re looking for.”

    Rumsfeld: “Move along.”

    Reporter: “Let’s move along.”

  8. Alex Knapp says:

    Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld demonstrates the five point palm-exploding heart technique for an assembled group of reporters.

  9. Myopist says:

    You know what this is?

    (bending down two fingers)

    It’s three of these.

  10. Roger says:

    Rumsfeld gives his impersonation of Mr. Scrooge to show the press that he can indeed play the lead role at the annual White House Christmas sketch. Let’s listen now as he continues…

    “Bah humbug! Let Cratchet sign the condolence letters! I’m going ice fishing in the Potomac!

    Several members were injured during the rushed mass exodus out the briefing room before Rumsfeld could continue with Act 3.

  11. Roger says:

    The scene snapped by a photographer before Rumsfeld could finish completing the hand sign he wanted to show after being asked about the condolence letters.

  12. Maggie says:

    In a display of typical parry with the press, Rumsfeld raised his hand and informed the CBS reporter that he could “just read between the lines”.

  13. Donald Rumsfeld prepares to remove Indiana Jones’ still beating heart.

  14. Cassandra says:

    Oh, fine, McGehee… your “condolence letter” caption was so funny my mind went totally blank and now I can’t even think of anything.

    Thanks a lot… 🙂

    *muttering*

  15. carpeicthus says:

    Sortapundit wins. Those PacMan tourneys still give me nightmares, and I was only 3.

  16. Cricket says:

    Rumsfeld tells them to ‘read between the lines’ in
    code.

  17. Digger says:

    “…and this is how you use a four holed bowling ball”

  18. Brian Scott says:

    Unfortunately arthritis has rendered Don Rumsfield incapable of giving journalist his desired “single figure” gesture.

  19. bryan says:

    Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld shows proper knuckleball form during a press conference announcing his tryout for the (possible) Washington Nationals.
    “I’ve been throwing knuckleballs past the national media for three years now,” Rumsfeld said. “I think I can put a few past Sammy Sosa and that juiced-up Barry – what’s his name? – Bonds.”

  20. KJ says:

    Tired of waiting for nude pyramids and sleep deprivation to work, Rumsfeld decides to personally administer his Vulcan mild meld technique to get the Al Kae Duh prisoners talking.

  21. Senator Hagel has no confidence in me huh? Well this right here is size of Hagel’s brain, on a good day.

  22. Cassandra used one of them smiley thingamajiggers? Unfrigginbelievable, this press conference is over.

  23. sortapundit says:

    I hate to lessen my chances of winning this one, but McGehee has it in the bag with the Jedi mind trick joke. Still, I hope I’m in for a strong second place.

  24. ken says:

    ‘What do you call a soldier going to war without armor?’ asked Rumsfeld rhetorically.

    ‘He’s like a comedian doing stand up without a sock puppet’ he smugly answered, demonstrating with a visual.

    ‘But sir’, asked a reporter, ‘shouldn’t the comedian and the soldier both wait till they have what they need?’

    ‘No’, bellowed Rumsfeld, ‘you take the stage with the jokes you have, not the jokes you want’

  25. Zod says:

    Why do you say this to me, when you know I will kill you for it?

  26. Rodney Dill says:

    Rumsfeld practices his lawn dart technique.

  27. Kate says:

    “As you know, you go decorate the Christmas tree with the ornaments you have … not the ornaments you might want or wish to have at a later time.”

  28. Crerar says:

    Armor will be completely obsolete after I instruct all of our soldiers on the effectiveness of the Moroccan bear claw death grip.

  29. McTrip says:

    The Secretary confronts the hand that feeds him and does not like the look of what he sees.

  30. Todd says:

    With apologies to MP (and Karl Rove):

    Rumsfeld RE: Karl Rove

    Bones of full fifty reporters lie strewn about his lair…therefore sweet wordsmiths if you may doubt your strength or courage come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty pointy teeth.

  31. Dougrc says:

    In a complete turn-around, Rumsfeld pledges to sign every condolence letter by hand and also to sign every speech and press conference himself in American Sign Language. Quoting from his latest press-conference, “Here’s your sign”.

  32. Cassandra says:

    “Let me state for the record, that smiley thing-a-majigger is not official US Army-issue”

    “It’s some crazy thing Joyner rigged up. I can’t be held responsible”

  33. Dougrc says:

    Demonstrating how and specifically where they can shove it, Rumsfeld announces to the press he’s retiring his mechanical signature machine.

  34. Kenny says:

    Hey reporter boy, isn’t this how Kerry was throwing his football? Clearly this technique is better for attaching electrodes at Abu Graib.

  35. Cricket says:

    Rumsfeld clearly displays the Mark of the Beast.
