Rummy does a Prescott 2 December, 2003
Donald rumsfeld has won the Plain English Campaign’s 2003 Foot in Mouth Award for this little gem:
‘Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because 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.’
Strangely enough it looks as though John Prescott has yet to feature in their rogue’s gallery. There’s always next year, I suppose.
