He's Ken Lay touting Enron stock. He's OJ talking about domestic violence. Your point? So why again is Rumsfeld being taken seriously as a source? He’s Ken Lay touting Enron stock.

They've raped and/or killed nearly all my favorite female characters. Got to the point where, as soon as I really connected with a character, she'd be offed or lose her powers and disappear for a while, only to resurface a traumatized rape victim. One they didn't rape or kill they declared profoundly delusional (Scarlet Witch), which was perhaps even more annoying - not only did she lose loving hubby and kids; she was sneered at for even wanting them! The only ones they didn't wreck were the Invisible Woman and She-Hulk (and there's an iffy, "Wait, did I choose that or was he using his powers on me?" possible non-con incident in She-Hulk's past *sigh*). Bless John Byrne for what he did with both of them. http://the-pantheon.net/wir/women.html The “Women in Refrigerators” list I ran across following links from the “Girl Wonder” link sums up exactly why I no longer seriously collect comics.

What I mean regarding Karpinsky is that she was the CO of a place where the left-wing's great scandal of the decade took place. It'd be like Ken Lay coming out and (skirting his responsibility for Enron) taking a stand against corporate pollution, and being hailed by the left as a hero. OK, maybe he's right on the particular question, but don't you guys hate this guy? In other words, why the free ride for Karpinsky?
