Hey, whatever happened to this guy?

Whatever happened to Rumsfeld? Is he sidelined by the Bush admin. in an effort to cut down on comic relief? I sincerely miss the old coot. With his patronizing demeanor and dismissive comments. It truly was an awsome spectacle, seeing him treating the press core like idiots when asked questions like: "Hey, do we have enough troops on the ground?". His answer to this (paraphrased) question asked after Gen Shinseki was unceremoniusly dismissed for saying that we may need 350k troops on the ground to pacify the place, was: "It's ridiculous to think that we'll need more troops to hold the country than it took to conquer it." Here's a trip down memory lane. For comic relief purposes, of course.
