In response to repeated calls for Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation, the Whitehouse fired back, declaring:
Before moving to a station break, Snow went on to say that the only time the Defense Secretary scares President Bush is when Rumsfeld walks into a cabinet meeting and "does his Darth Vader voice."
However, White House insiders did admit that Bush has been overheard saying that he is, "Ascared of Rummy sometimes." One aide admitted that Bush once soiled himself when Rumsfeld became angry. "But it's been awhile since that happened," added the aide, "and in all fairness, it was after a major coke binge."
