Donald Rumsfeld, who served as Secretary of Defense under President Gerald Ford and President George W. Bush, has passed away at the age of 88 years old, the Rumsfeld family announced in a Wednesday statement.

The statement reads: “It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Donald Rumsfeld, an American statesman and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.  At 88, he was surrounded by family in his beloved Taos, New Mexico. History may remember him for his extraordinary accomplishments over six decades of public service, but for those who knew him best and whose lives were forever changed as a result, we will remember his unwavering love for his wife Joyce, his family and friends, and the integrity he brought to a life dedicated to country.”

I will always remember a column George Will wrote when Donald Rumsfeld was nominated for Sec. Defense the 2nd time. (I paraphrase) "Donald Rumsfeld is the Pentagon's worst nightmare. An old rich man, who is not looking  for  another job."

Liberals rejoicing to Rumsfeld's death will make your blood boil

While Americans across the nation mourned the loss of former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld Wednesday, liberals on Twitter pulled no punches in rejoicing over the news of his death. 

"For those too young to know, Donald Rumsfeld was an atrocious human being whose legacy is engineering unlawful, disastrous & unnecessary wars that continue to traumatize generations. He had no remorse or contrition for his role in the bloodshed. May he kick rocks for eternity," The Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali reacted.

"Bye, bi---," The Nation's Washington correspondent Aída Chávez replied.

"The only thing tragic about Donald Rumsfeld’s death is that it didn’t take place in a prison cell," progressive journalist Walker Bragman wrote.
