“You as viewers have little reason to be comforted by the excuse that Mr. Simmons might—and I stress might—have fooled many others, including no less than former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.”
Filling in the blanks—“So, I won’t mention it, right. Because that would make me look like I was trying to excuse myself by referring to supposedly smart people who were fooled by him. Like say, Donald Rumsfeld.”
Rummy was fooled by this guy? The same Rummy who believed everything Ahmed Chalabi said? The guy who presided over the worst foreign policy disaster since the Viet Nam War? That guy? Really?
You know, I really don’t feel comforted by Cavuto’s sorry-ass excuse and his attempt to soften it by throwing “fooled many others” into the mix. Two minutes online would have shown him who this guy really was but that would require him to at least feign interest in the truth. Instead he opted to present this guy as an expert and frankly there is no apology that excuses this behavior.
None.
