Yep and one of Bush's closest friends (Brent Scowcroft) would replace Kissinger as National Security Advisor and reprise that position after Bush was elected President.

I was mostly kidding, hence the third sentence.

I have facts on my side.

You really are dumb. The Halloween Massacre occurred after Rumsfeld and Cheney submitted a joint letter of resignation to the President. Ford responded by firing the Secretary of Defense, Director of the CIA, National Security Advisor (though Kissinger did keep his gig at the State Department) and informing the VP…

No, I use to inform ignorant idiots like yourself of things you should have learned in middle school.

I have a poli. sci. degree and I assure that no one uses White House and Executive Branch interchangeably.

I live in the world where it is verifiable and irrefutable that Donald Rumsfeld was Cheney's boss during the Ford administration and that Rumsfeld never worked in the Bush White House.

No one uses "White House" to mean "executive branch".

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I was speaking to some who understood English. That was presumptuous of me.

Rumsfeld was Ford's Chief of Staff. Dick Cheney was his Deputy until they arranged the Halloween Massacre after which Ford became the Secretary of Defense and Cheney took Rumsfeld's old job. Rumsfeld was in every single meaning of the word Cheney's boss during the first year of the Ford administration.

Carell would play the VP’s Bush White House crony, Donald Rumsfeld

The British kept Louis XIV, Napoleon and Wilhelm II second from effectively conquering Europe. They also held off Philip II, though the French deserve more credit for keeping Philip and his father from completely dominating the continent.

Stop the presses! Country uses geography to its advantage in war!

He's good at math and is a fan of computers and sneaking around; sounds like a career in the NSA could be in his future.

Henry had lines in two consecutive episodes! When was the last time that happened? Season 2 maybe?

Jared Weaver was an excellent pitcher in his prime and, to the best of my knowledge, a really nice guy. Most people found him far less annoying than his older brother, but I never thought Jeff was so bad.

It couldn't be another police action; technically the first one never ended!

Here in the United States, we’ve cautiously re-accepted Shia LaBeouf into our good graces

My generation's answer to James Dean (though in my opinion Ledger was a better actor). Watching The Dark Knight is so conflicting. On the one hand, his performance is downright hypnotic. On the other hand, you end up imagining what Ledger must have been put himself through to create that performance.

You mean dairy blackface?
