Hey, Donald Rumsfeld's speech before Congress the other day was interrupted by hecklers. As the police escorted the protesters from the gallery, Rumsfeld said, "Of course, people like that are not able to go to Iraq and make demonstrations like that because there is no free speech."

Nobody pointed out the irony that people like that weren't able to make demonstrations like that here. They were escorted out by the police!
