Slate features a heretofore unappreciated side to Donald Rumsfeld: his poetry. OK, so they’re just taking excerpts from some of his more obtuse comments during press conferences, but it’s still funny. Here’s an example:
The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don’t know
We don’t know.
Very deep.
