By Nikki Schwab, Washington Whispers

We've caught him viewing controversial movies in the past, so it didn't surprise us too much to find out that movie buff Donald Rumsfeld recently viewed Oliver Stone's W. The former defense secretary said it wasn't intentional. The movie, which portrays the Bush administration and has actor Scott Glenn playing Rumsfeld, happened to be on TV at a hotel where Rumsfeld was staying. And while he wouldn't divulge how closely art imitated life, he did offer this: "It was funny," he said, pausing. "Not the movie, but that I actually saw it."

BUSH LIED!

Rumsfeld is a NAZI! Bush is the worst President who ever lived, and a WAR CRIMINAL to boot!

Now, we just sit back and wait for our Chosen One to reverse every one of their misguided NAZI polciies. I'm sure he'll get started soon, he is just too busy right now to stop the WAR CRIMES.

Wow

G W. Bush the deceiving president. How low is low..... you will never know until seen G W Bush in action

The other movies.

"It was funny,"he said of the Abu Graib pictures,"not the movie, but that I actually had them on my hard drive."

Bobbles Poll: Obama's Socialist Joke?

President Obama and "Oboker" bobbleheads for Washington Whispers. Bobbleheads provided by webobbles.com.

Shouts that President Obama is steering the nation and budget in a socialist manner have become so loud that now our bobble supplier has designed a "Socialist Obama" titled "OBOKER," a play off Heath Ledger's evil Joker who sought social upheaval in the The Dark Knight. Do you think that Obama's agenda is exactly what the country needs or a push into socialism?
