Donald
Rumsfeld has been given a new nickname, Donald Duck, in press and army
circles, after he managed to keep his job following damaging comments from a number
of retired generals, who criticized him for being arrogant.
Rumsfeld
insisted to reporters that he was no 'Mickey Mouse
Secretary of Defense' and that "suggestions
that this criticism [from the
generals] would cause me to quit, were always just
plain Goofy".
"The
calls for my resignation were just a 'Silly Symphony'", he told one
news reporter.
"Yes,
I know I'm not exactly Snow White, but expectations that this tirade of
abuse would lead to my resignation were always just pure Fantasia."
He
concluded the interview by assuring his audience:
"I
will be here loyally supporting Dumbo for as long as he needs me."
