This is so funny...
(CNN) -- The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff defended Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld from new criticism by former Pentagon brass Tuesday, telling reporters that "nobody works harder than he does."

"He does his homework. He works weekends. He works nights," Gen. Peter Pace said. "People can question my judgment or his judgment, but they should never question the dedication, the patriotism and the work ethic of Secretary Rumsfeld."

Is it just me or is this kinda like the following:

You're fat!

Hey, don't call me stupid! :p

Near as I can tell no is saying he doesn't work, in fact I wish he would work less. It IS his judgement everyone is criticising. Maybe if he was lazier and had less work ethic he woudl leave some of the decisions to people who know better.
