The ever lovable Donald Rumsfeld testified yesterday, essentially, that he’d settle for a partial election sooner rather than a full election later in Iraq, given the pesky problem of “no-go zones.”

Nothing’s perfect in life, so you have an election that’s not quite perfect,” Rumsfeld said. “Is it better than not having an election? You bet!”

Rumsfeld added: “And trust me, we know imperfect elections.”

Okay, not really.
