Some british group that advocates government using understandable language gave Rumsfeld the Foot in Mouth award. His quote:

"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."

It was a tough decision, Ah-nold was a close second with: "I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman."

I don't agree gay marriage should happen between a man and woman, unless it is known that we know that the gender of one person is known. But if the known persons gender is unknown then we knowingly know there are unknowns. Once this is known we can knowingly make known decisions with a certain known outcome. Knowing this, we now know what is known by most in the known world. On this homosexual subject, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is a wonderful show. Now we know and knowing is half tha battle. Gi Joe! You know what I mean.
