God forbid the d-bag have to face any consequences. Original story with pic here.

The (Tacoma) News Tribune- Two people were removed from a Donald Rumsfeld book signing last Friday at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, including the Yelm widow of an Army Ranger who blames the military for her husband’s suicide.

Security officers for the former secretary of defense escorted Ashley Joppa-Hagemann out by the arm, she said Saturday. She and Jorge Gonzalez, the executive director of Coffee Strong, a Lakewood-based anti-war group, confronted Rumsfeld as he promoted his memoir, “Known and Unknown.”

According to an account posted on Coffee Strong’s website: “Mrs. Joppa-Hagemann introduced herself by handing a copy of her husband’s funeral program to Rumsfeld, and telling him that her husband had joined the military because he believed the lies told by Rumsfeld during his tenure with the Bush administration.”

The website said Rumsfeld’s “only response was to callously quip, ‘Oh yeah, I heard about that.’”

When Joppa-Hagemann continued to blame Rumsfeld, a group of five to six security agents and military police officers reportedly “dragged” them out and told them not to return, according to the Web post.

    Oh, yes, I remember the Republican regime, let by Bush and Rummy… They were the good ol’ boys from that time… along with criminal VP Cheney who even admits his criminal actions…  They all should have been prosecuted and strung up if found guilty… as they all admit their culpability.
