This quote from Rummy is so precious I'm going to post it, rather than link to it:
"Reports that say something hasn't happened are interesting to me, because as we know, there are known unknowns; there things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
Her received the "Foot in Mouth" Award from Britain's Plain English Campaign for that one. But I'm sure he knew what he was saying, or was at least aware that he didn't know it. A known unknown that would be?
