Current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Campus

Gen. Martin Dempsey Landon Lecture today at 11:30 in McCain.  First I heard of it was this morning, but it sure is good that we promoted the crap out of an SNL writer coming to do a comedy show last weekend

I've seen Sec. of Ag, TWO Joint Chiefs Chairman, Justice of Supreme Court, Director of Nat'l Intel, ex- Mexico President, Director of CIA, Chinese Ambassador, Defense Sec. Gates, Clinton, Rumsfield (the day or so after he resigned!), Bush, that guy who runs Shell Oil, Ted Turner, Gorbachev (which, was awesome), Brian Williams, Director of the FBI, and reaching way back... McCain in 2000... and even father back to Janet Reno in 95.

Hell of a deal, K-State... Hell of a deal.

Do you think those Washington big wigs ever run into each other at a DC grocery store both wearing the KSU jersey? At first they're a little embarassed but then a sly smug smile sets in. Maybe even a small whisper of EMAW is heard.

That speech Rumsfeld gave was probably the most-covered one of his career. I don't know anything about this Joint Chiefs guy--was it any good?

Yeah Rummy was like a day or two after he was removed from his job. Pretty incredible. CJCoS this time was fairly uneventful, but a pretty high ranking official nonetheless.
