Talking 12 in Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld Doll

Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s political, military and private sector careers are impressive. Just a few of the jobs he has held include: Representative, aviator, cabinet member, Counselor to the President, Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, Chairman of a pharmaceutical company, Chief Executive of the Pharmaceutical Industry, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the General Instrument Corporation, an active member of various government Defense and Trade committees and other high-profile positions-all of which were impressive and important. None of them quite prepared him for the the job of Secretary of Defense.


Here we have a Talking 12" Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld Doll:

“Rummy” is dressed in a black pin-stripped suit with white shirt, yellow tie and black shoes.
The articulated figure stands on a special Department of Defense display base.
The figure’s head sculpt duplicate Rumsfeld’s stoic, determined look, his gray hair and normaly  comes with a set of glasses,but unfortunatly this doll lost the glasses.

Hear again Rummy's most amusing press-conference statements and answers:

+ “ The message is that there are no knowns, there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns, that is to say that there are things that we now know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don’t know and each year we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.”


+ “The nexus between terrorist states with weapons of mass destruction, in this case chemical and biological and nuclear technologies and knowledge, uh and terrorist groups, networks, is a critical link.”

+ “Oh, it was your rhetoric that made us do it. And it turns out they had started doing all this well before president Bush came into office, well before the axes of evil speech, it’s utter nonsense.”

+ "I suspect that some of these dead enders will be down there shooting people and doing that type of thing.”

+ “The administration does not have a perception. I have a perception, General Myers has a perception and we say what we think.”

+ “We do have a saying in America, ‘if you are in a hole , stop digging’. Um, I am not sure I should have said that. Hahaha”

+ “Well Dick, calibrate me, but uh, the first thing I’d say is I don’t believe you have the war plan. A fact that does not make me unhappy.”

+ “We have done so much in the last two years, and it doesn’t happen by standing around with your finger in your ear hoping everyone thinks that ‘that’s nice.’”

+ “The only choice one has is to proceed and use coercion.”

+ “This is the case of the local liar coming up again, people repeating what he said, and forgetting to say that he never, almost never, rarely tells the truth.”

+ “Analyst say what they say and quite honestly they seem to me to be all over the lot.”

+ “It’s, it’s inaccurate, I have not opined on that subject.”

+ “I’m, I’m working my way over to figuring out how I wont answer that.”

+ “That’s not even a remote possibility.”

+ “The answer's yes and no.”

+ “How did you get a camera into my private office? Who in the world let you in?”

+ “Oh, my goodness.”

+ “ You wanna know if you can offer me the opportunity, the answer is yes, you may offer me the opportunity and I may decline.”

+ “The question you ask, however is not a question I can answer.”

+ “Don’t know.”

+ “ You just don’t like one-word answers.”

+ “The statement I made is sound as a rock. Speaking of Iraq… I didn’t say Iraq!”

+ “I should get into, this is diplomacy, and I don’t do diplomacy.”

+ “What they do with themselves is up to them, and what the people around them do with them, is up to the people around them.”

+ “I would not say that the future is necessarily less predictable than the past, I think the past was not predictable when it started.”

+ “I believe what I said yesterday, I don’t know what I said, but I know what I think, and , uh, I assume it is what I said .”

+ “Goodness I don’t, I shouldn’t say I don’t think so, although that’s what I think.”

+ “Pam, Pam, Pam was that he last question for the day and good Lord willing for the year?”

The sound is clear and understandable.
To make Rummy talk, press button on his back (between shoulder blades)
It is not necessary to remove doll from box - there's a try-me opening in the back of the box.
Talking feature requires three LR44 button cell batteries - included (but freshness not guaranteed, given age of doll)


Packaged in a tall box. The plastic window of the box has been damaged ( see pictures) Rummy stands proudly in front on an American flag (photo). Box has other damage on the back of the box as seen in the pictures.
