Wtf???
Don Rumsfeld, one of the architects of the bloody fiasco in Iraq, has been awarded the Gold Medal by the prestigious Union Club in Philadelphia, at an event shrouded in secrecy. Yeah, I'd be embarrassed too.

Officials at the selective private club presented its Gold Medal to Rumsfeld at a black-tie affair on Friday night, but would not discuss the reason behind the award.

"My family is traditional Republican, and they are sick about the Union League giving Rumsfeld a medal," said protester Elizabeth Doering, whose grandfather and father were longtime club members. "It's such a crass gesture."

Club member James A. Ounsworth told the paper that he was "astonished and ashamed" because "Rumsfeld is a failure. I don't think you should give an award for failure."

Not.
