He did General Discussion > Politics and World Affairs.

Rumsfeld's actions are clearly of the highest importance in today's society.
Hence, his inspection of his wife's vagina is evidently a world affair, although the political aftermath would have been rather more interesting to follow if he'd inspected Laura's instead.

Vaginas are important, whatever I might think about them.

Yeah, but you know it's alittle different. Personaly I try to keep myself away from "politics and world affair" forum most of time, but sometimes when I'm in GD, I see the newpost of this forum and if it would be eyecatching, I can't keep myself away from that and come here. And then your trouble is started because ou have to listen to my terrible comments on a subject.
 
Yeah, we're addicting arn't we?
 
Well you're already an addict. But I don't know what you're addicting to this time.

It's a bit like a road accident ... you know it's terrible but you can't look away.
