Shut the Hell Up, Old Man

One problem in America is that we just don’t respect the elderly and insane the way we used to do, back in … the ’80s or whenever. For example, the Los Angeles Times is very, very mean to Rumsfeld in this editorial:

“One effect of Rumsfeld’s outburst was to serve as a reminder that he is still in office.”
“His speech was vintage Rumsfeld. It was also unfair and, in places, inane.”
“Rumsfeld is obviously unwilling to step down. Could he at least pipe down?” (source)
