Announcer: From our studios in New York City.. this is Charlie Rose.
Charlie Rose: Welcome to the broadcast. Tonight, a visit with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Donald Rumsfeld: Thank you, Charlie.
Charlie Rose: Rumsfeld began his work in the White House, during the Nixon administration. He continued to serve under Presidents Ford and Reagan. It was under Reagan that Rumsfeld traveled to Iraq, where, ironically, he met with Saddam Hussein.
Donald Rumsfeld: Well, that deserves a.. little explanation.
Charlie Rose: From 1982 to 1983, Rumsfeld served as special presidential envoy, on the Law of the Sea Treaty.
Donald Rumsfeld: Okay, Charlie..
Charlie Rose: From 1989 to 1991, Rumsfeld served..
Donald Rumsfeld: Stop introducing me.
Charlie Rose: ..as a member of the U.S. Commissions on Japan relations. Later, he served as..
Donald Rumsfeld: Stop introducing me, Charlie!
Charlie Rose: ..Chairman and CEO of General Instrument Corporation. From 1999 to 2000..
Donald Rumsfeld: Charlie, I think people know who I am!
Charlie Rose: ..he was a member of the U.S. Trade Deficit Review Commission – Secretarey Rumsfeld.. welcome!
Donald Rumsfeld: Finally, you’re done.
Charlie Rose: One of the things that people say about you..
Donald Rumsfeld: Okay, you’re not done-
Charlie Rose: ..and I think you know this.. they say, “Donald Rumsfeld, here he is, he served under Bush, Sr., and..
Donald Rumsfeld: There is-
Charlie Rose: I mean, here you are. Give me a sense of how you.. [ looking for the words ]
Donald Rumsfeld: You know, Charlie.. Charlie, I’m disinclined-
Charlie Rose: Because you have to know what people say! You know? They say you had a cerain sense of.. of secrecy, a desire for secrecy, restrictions we hear about you..
Donald Rumsfeld: Charlie, let me answer the question-
Charlie Rose: ..you were in the military, which, well.. now going back to your days as Chief of Staff..
Donald Rumsfeld: Will you let me answer?!
Charlie Rose: ..in the Ford administration, and..
Donald Rumsfeld: ..I guess not.
Charlie Rose: [ stops talking ]
Donald Rumsfeld: Oh. Is that it? [ pause ] Okay. [ clears throat ] First off, Charlie, I wasn’ty actually Chief of Staff under President Ford. I think you probably know that was Dick Cheney.
Charlie Rose: Right! Sure, but.. later, when you were Minority Whip, and then, Secretary of Defense under George Bush, Sr..
Donald Rumsfeld: Again, that was Cheney.
Charlie Rose: ..of course, you had the first of your heart attacks..
Donald Rumsfeld: A man named Cheney!
Charlie Rose: ..CEO of Halliburton..
Donald Rumsfeld: Cheney!
Charlie Rose: And that thing where you dressed in women’s clothing, and bit her on the back, and they had to suspend your whole announcing career.
Donald Rumsfeld: Charlie, the thing with biting the woman was not me. you must know this – that was Marv Albert.
Charlie Rose: Fair enough. And did you care about these.. missing burglars.. and little french fry friends?
Donald Rumsfeld: Charlie, I might be mistaken here, but I believe, now, you’re talking about the Hamburgler.
Charlie Rose: Point taken. But.. Iraq.. the war..?
Donald Rumsfeld: Charlie, I think you just spent ten minutes asking me a question, but I have no idea what it is.
Charlie Rose: I’m sorry, we’re out of time. We’ll be back tomorrow night with Sen. Richard Luger, and the cast of the Broadway show “Hairspray”. Until then.. questions remain about war, and whether or not there’s a double standard..
Donald Rumsfeld: I thought you said we were out of time?
Charlie Rose: ..on one hand, and hopefully on the other..
Donald Rumsfeld: You’re still talking!
Charlie Rose: ..By the way, have you seen “Hairspray”?
Donald Rumsfeld: [ sighs ] I’ve seen the movie, not the play.
Charlie Rose: This thing is fantastic, you gotta see it!
[ Rumsfeld stands and exits studio ]

But, first, “Lady Drinks The Booze”. Diana Ross, outside of Blockbuster, got blockbusted by the cops. Ain’t Diana high enough? Apparently not. “Access Hollywood” has the exclusive.

Diana Ross: Here I am!
Cop #1: Excuse me, Miss Ross. Is that your car?
Diana Ross: Of course, that’s my car! Do you think just anyone drives a Suburu Outback?

Diana Ross: To Can-yon Ranch! Me and a couple of my closest friends are having a girl’s spa weekend – Tootie from “Facts Of Life”, Stephanie Mills, Tootie my assistant, and, of course, my toy poodle Tootie. I never thought of it before today, but there are three Tooties in my life, I am so blessed!
Cop #2: Miss Ross, we’re gonna have to ask you to take a sobriety test.
Diana Ross: Hey, if I were drunk, would I be able to do this? [ drops her fur coat and raies her arms in the air, as she’s engulfed in a mysterious spotlight ] Hello, Tucson! [ bows ]
Cop #1: Miss Ross, I’m gonna need you to write the, uh.. I’m gonna need you to write the alphabet on a piece of paper.
Diana Ross: Gimme a pen! Miss Ross needs a pen! [ jots onto the page ] Doo-doo doo doo doo, doo doo! There you go!
Cop #1: [ reading ] “To Dabney Coleman: We’ll always have Aspen. With love: Diana Rose.”
Diana Ross: If that ends up on eBay, I’ll rip your ass out!
Cop #2: Miss Ross? Can you try touching your nose for us?
Diana Ross: I can do more than that! [ stands on a bench and sings a drunken version of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” ]
Cop #2: You know what? Just touch the nose, please.
Diana Ross: Oh, uh.. okay.. tough crowd! [ falls to the ground, losing her wig in the process ]
Cop #2: [ holding onto the wig ] What.. should I do with this..?
Cop #1: Cuff it.. and read it its rights..?
Diana Ross: [ stands back up ] Now, I have a test.. for the both of you! How many Diana Rosses do you see?
Cops: [ both sigh ] One.
Diana Ross: That’s right! There is only one! The one and only Miss Ross! And that’s me! [ breaks back into her drunken version of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” ] Hey, can’t your hands off me! Uh-oh! I think I just threw up a little in my mouth!
Cop #1: Okay. Miss Ross, we’re gonna need you to come with us, okay?
Diana Ross: You sure you don’t want to hear another one? “Wooly Bully”? No?
[ dissolve back to Pat O’Brien ]
Pat O’Brien: Coming up next on “Access Hollywood”: Ben and J. Lo no go? So-so? Let’s keep it on the downlow. Don’t be fooled with the rocks that I’ve got. I’m still Pat O’Brien from the block. We’ll be right back.

Suzanne: Oh, my God! [ giggles ]
Jordan Black: Suzanne, are you ready to meet your.. Star Date?
Suzanne: Yeah! I’m so ready! [ giggles ]
[ cut to Suzanne in private interview ]
Suzanne: At first, I was nervous because.. I’m not a big dater. The two reasons I don’t date that much is, that 1: I don’t have the time. Duh! I work at Fashion Bug! And, 2: I don’t really have the desire/opportunity.
[ cut back to Jordan with Suzanne ]
Jordan Black: [ shows picture ] What do you think?
Suzanne: [ looking ] Oh.. um.. Nick Nolte?
Jordan Black: No. Congratulations. Gary Busey.
Suzanne: Oh, yeah.. the motorcycle crash guy.
[ cut to Suzanne in private interview ]
Suzanne: At first, I thought he was famous in a Kato Kaelin kind of way.. but.. then I found out that he’d actually been in some movies.
[ cut to Jordan and Suzanne at the restaurant where she’ll have her date with Gary Busey ]
Jordan: Ah, there he is! Gary.. this is Suzanne.
[ Gary Busey comes stumbling in, carrying a giant candy cane ]
Gary Busey: Hey there, Baby Lady? I brought you some candy! A big candy cane filled with other, smaller candy canes! Blew my mind! [ sniffs ]
Suzanne: Oh.. um.. thank you! [ giggles, as Gary bends over to smother her with kisses and grunts ]
[ cut to Gary Busey in private interview ]
Gary Busey: Uh.. I was a little confused, because, uh.. I thought I was the one who’s gonna be goin’ out with a celebrity, and, uh.. I didn’t know her from Adam’s housecat! [ sniffs ]
[ cut to Suzanne and Gary Busey on their date ]
Suzanne: So, um.. uh.. what-what movies have you been in?
Gary Busey: Have you seen “Gangs of New York”?
Suzanne: Yeah!
Gary Busey: Well, I was at the 10:40 show of that last night. I was the one that they threw out for whistling too hard and chewin’ on the seat covers!
Suzanne: Oh..
Gary Busey: Lemme tell you a story. [sniffs ] I was on an Indian reserve outside of Needles, Nevada, having an Indian named Jojo Stormcloud carve a walking stick out of a likeness of my head.. and there was this Indian-American woman over there, who was nursin’ a baby, so I just.. reached out and grabbed her one free teeter. [ sniffs ]
[ cut to Suzanne in private interview ]
Suzanne: I thought I’d be nervous because he was a star.. but, I was actually nervous because he invaded my personal space.. and his breath smelled like gasoline.
[ cut to Gary Busey in private interview ]
Gary Busey: She was bright.. sensitive.. and, uh.. lacked the physical strength to remove my mitt from her pooper!
[ cut back to Suzanne and Gary Busey on their date ]
Suzanne: Uh.. um.. I was actually born in South Dakota, but, uh.. then we moved.. to- ..is something burning?
Gary Busey: I set a pack of Sweet ‘N Low on fire. [ sniffs ]
[ waiter steps forward ]
Waiter: Good evening. My name is Jeffrey. May I interest you two in our antipasto tray?
Gary Busey: Listen, uh.. do you have any catfish?
Waiter: No.
Gary Busey: [ turns to Suzanne ] Speaking of catfish, a funny story: I was in High Point, North Carolina, and me and my friend Chet were burning tires and cannin’ stuff, and, all of a sudden, I saw the face of that British guy, from “The Jeffersons”.. on a catfish head. [ pounds table ] And I’ll be damned if he wasn’t Chinese!
Waiter: Uh.. well.. have you decided on your entree?
Gary Busey: Uhh.. my fiancee here would like your mesquite-roasted pig and some hominy.. for me, I’d like one of those little lady salads.. with tiny little pieces of square toast that are sometimes spiced with garlic, and sometimes not!
Waiter: Um.. sir.. we don’t offer roasted pig.
Gary Busey: Well, then, uh.. just give me two, uh.. catfish – sans Jefferson style.
Waiter: Um.. I already told you we don’t have catfish.
Gary Busey: Hey, Irene! Are you giving me the fast eye?!
Waiter: No, Mr. Busey!
Gary Busey: I’ll tell you what, son! I will tie a knot in your ass, diablo-style, if you get in my way! You understand me, son?! Do you get me?! do you get my drift?! Do you?!
Waiter: I do! [ wrestles Gary Busey to the ground and beats him up ]
[ Gary separates himself from the rumble and stands ]
Gary Busey: I was in the parking lot of a Frito Lay factory outside of Denton, Texas, when, suddenly, these aliens came down. and the weird thing about these aliens was, all their fingers lit up – except for the E.T. finger. That one was black as night. And I told ’em, I said, “Look, you sonofagun-“
[ Waiter wrestles Gary Busey to the ground again ]
[ cut to Suzanne in private interview ]
Suzanne: Um.. nothing he said made sense.. he was really rude, and.. his teeth looked and sounded like vertical blinds.. But.. [ considering ] ..yeah.. I’d.. I’d go out with him again!
V/O: Coming up next, on “Star Dates”..
[ cut to Gary Busey waving flaming shish-kabobs ]
Gary Busey: Hey! Little tiny lady baby! Come back!
Waiter: [ douses Gary with a fire extinguisher ] Can I show you the dessert menu? Or how about I just give you the check?
Gary Busey: [ shaking it off ] I was on a wet and wild waterslide with Emmanuel Lewis, and we was sword fighting over a piece of pizza..

Tina Fey: So, where is the baby now?
Briggitte Boisselier: Our new home – the planet Earth.

Tina Fey: [ laughs ] Okay! Alright. [ starts next joke ] President Bush, this week, announced that he is no longer..
[ camera cuts to Jimmy, who begins to think reflectively to himself ]
Jimmy Fallon: It does feel good just to be nominated. What if I do win? It’s possible. I mean, those guys have all been around for a while – I’m new, I’m fresh! They’ll cancel each other out, like Robin Williams needs a Grammy.. yeah, right.. please! Hey, guess who’s not nominated – Tina Fey! [ laughs ] Who’s the smart one now, Tina? Did you hear the sarcastic way she said that: [ in Tina voice ] “Jimmy Fallon is nominated..” Yeah, I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do when I win that Grammy – I’m gonna use it to smash those damn glasses she has on.

[ cut to Michael Sanders in the audience, also thinking reflectively to himself ]
Michael Sanders: I can’t believe I’m here! “Saturday Night Live”! This place is a legend. I wonder if Jimmy will recognize me, his old buddy Mikey Sanders. Of course, I go by Michael Sanders, now that I’ve got that job as Head of the Grammy Committee. I feel bad. I didn’t even listen to Jimmy’s album. But if it’s anything like those party-mix tapes he used to make, I know it sucks. Who puts “Ghostbusters” on twice – in a row? Jerk!
[ cut back to Jimmy Fallon at the Update desk, still thinking reflectively to himself ]
Jimmy Fallon: Know who else I’m gonna call when I win? Ghostbusters! [ laughs ] That one always works! Lemme tell ya something: [ singing ] “Bustin’ makes me feel good!” Again, save it, Fallon, it’s gold! It’s Grammy gold! [ sighs ] Geez, when’s Tina gonna be done with this joke?

Boy, that was a long joke. Back to you, Jimmy.

Announcer: CNN News Alert. We’re taking you now, live, to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, for the latest on the situation in Iraq. He should arrive any minute.
[ Donald Rumsfeld steps up to the podium, as reporters wave their arms to have their questions noticed ]
Donald Rumsfeld: Yes? Anne.
Reporter #1: With the discovery of the twelve chemical warheads, and the deployment of more troops to the region, is it fair to say that this administration has found its smoking gun?
Donald Rumsfeld: Smoking gun? [ chuckles ] Let me think about that.. [ thinks ] I don’t want to answer that. But let me try to answer that.. uh.. no, I’ve changed my mind, I don’t feel the need to answer that. [ hands wave again ] Dave.
Reporter #2: Hans Glick said last wek that the inspection could drag on past any deadline we’ve set, maybe months. Do you think this administration can wait that long?
Donald Rumsfeld: Well.. look, Hans Glick has his timetable. I don’t wanna get in any discussion about possible timetables. I mean, we’re waiting – let me say, anxiously awaiting – any information the inspectors might provide, or that we might provide them. Now, Pete?
Reporter #3: If it turns out that Saddam is indeed lying about these warheads, would that be enough to go to war?
Donald Rumsfeld: Enough to go to war. How do I answer that? Well, let me try it like this: Saddam keeps sayin’ he’s got something for us.. something he calls proof, but let’s confess. He’s been a-messin’ where he shouldn’t a-been a-messin’. Now someone else is gettin’ all the best. Now, as I see it, these boots are made for walkin’.. and that.. that’s just what they’re gonna do. One of these days – I don’t know the exact date, but sometime in the future – these boots are gonna walk all over ‘im. Karen?
Reporter #4: I.. was gonna ask you a different question.. but.. was that the Nancy Sinatra song “These Boots Are Made For Walking”, sir?
Donald Rumsfeld: You make can anything of it you want to, Karen. It’s an undeniable fact.. The man keeps lyin’ when he oughtta be truthin’.. and he keeps losin’ when he oughtta not bet. He keeps samin’ when he oughtta be a-changin’. And what’s right is right, he just has not been right yet. What more can I say? [ begins to sing ] “These boots are made for walkin’, that’s just what they’ll do.. one of these days these boots.. [ music stops ] ..are gonna walk right over this guy.. Doug?
Reporter #5: Listen, we’re respecting members of the press here. You can’t just sing “These Boots Are Made For Walking”, and expect us to print it.
Donald Rumsfeld: I don’t see why not. I kinda feel like I can do anything I want to up here. When it comes to Saddam.. [ singing again ] He keeps playin’ where he shouldn’t be a-playin’. He keeps thinkin’ that he’ll never get burned. I just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah-ah! What I know, you ain’t had time to learn! The boots are made for walkin’, and that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.” Are you ready boots? Start walkin’, all the way to Baghdad. Put that in your press and smoke it! And, one more thing: “Live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

Announcer V/O: [ over scrolling SUPER ] In 1992, Ken Mortimer was a rising star in the Baltimore advertising scene. Then, upon receiving a mysterious package, the contents of which he never divulged, he left his wife and career, and moved deep into the forest. Now, he is known only as.. “The Falconer”.
[ dissolve to Falconer laying on the ground, trapped under a log, as Donald keeps a watchful eye ]
The Falconer: Oh, Donald.. here I lay, pinned beneath this mighty mountain pine felled by high winds. Trapped in its wooden clutch, I can only wonder what fate has in store for me.
Falcon: [ squawks ]
The Falconer: [ defensive ] Well, I’m sorry that I’m ruining your birthday! But I happen to have a 2,000-pound log crushing my spine right now! [ pleading ] You’ve got to help me.. go find someone – anyone – who has the know-how to lift a tree! So be gone, my friend! [ Donald flies into the air to search for help ] My life hangs in the balance!!
[ Falcon flies through the air in search of salvation; close-up of his steadfast face ]
[ dissolve to Falcon swooping down in College Dean’s office ]
College Dean: Oh, Falcon! Welcome back to the College of Environmental Science & Forestry!
Falcon: [ squawks ]
College Dean: Oh-ho, yes! [ touched ] You noticed! I’ve been named the Dean of log Removal!
Falcon: [ squawks ]
College Dean: Oh, my.. that’s terrible!
Falcon: [ squawks ]
College Dean: Oh, really..?
Falcon: [ squawks ]
College Dean: I can’t believe he forgot your birthday!
Falcon: [ squawks ]
College Dean: Well.. how would you like to celebrate?
Falcon: [ squawks ]
College Dean: [ chuckles ] Fine.
[ dissolve to exterior, Alpha Delta Psi Sorority ]
[ dissolve to interior, where the keg party is in full swing, with the College Dean dancing with a group of co-eds ]
College Dean: It’s a great party! Where’s the beer?!
Co-Ed #1: Over there!
[ Co-Ed #1 points off-camera, which pans over to reveal the Falcon operating the keg tap as another co-ed fills her cup ]
[ dissolve to party picking up in intensity, as Falcon perches upon co-ed’s shoulder holding two test tube shots in his talons ]
[ dissolve to a fun game of Limbo, as the Falcon goes under the limbo stick ]
Voice of Co-Ed: Come on, Falcon!
Falcon: [ screeches in excitement ]
[ dissolve to Falcon holding camcorder, as two co-eds flash their boobs for him ]
[ dissolve to Falcon in an intimate conversation with Co-Ed #2 ]
Co-Ed #2: Hey.. you wanna go upstairs?
Falcon: [ squawks ]
Co-Ed #2: [ giggles ] I know. [ moves in to kiss Falcon on the beak ]
[ dissolve to College Dean in bed with co-eds, Falcon perched atop the headboard ]
College Dean: Oh, I’ve got an idea! Let’s go to IHOP and get some waffles!
[ the girls giggle, Falcon flies in the air to leave ]
Co-Ed #2: Oh, Falcon.. you never stay.
[ Falcon flies into the air; close-up of his steadfast face ]
[ Falcon spots a saw and toolkit lying in the grass below, and swoops down for it ]
[ dissolve to The Falconer still trapped under the log ]
The Falconer: Oh, many is the day I wish I never opened that mysterious package.. containing, as it did..
[ Falcon swoops down and drops the saw to the Falconer’s legs ]
The Falconer: Oh, Donald! Oh, Donald! I knew I could count on you! [ holds up saw ] I will use this saw to cut the tree, and free myself so that I may live!
Falcon: [ squawks ]
The Falconer: You’re right! It would be quicker to just cut my leg off! Oh, Donald. You’re a true friend! Hopefully, one day we can return to society. But until that day, you will be the Falcon.. and I will remain..
[ dissolve to Peter burke standing before a seminar of investors ]
Peter Burke: [ acknowledging a raised hand ] Yes?
Investor #1: We’re entering the fourth year of a down stock market. Is it time to sell yet?
Investor #2: Have we hit bottom yet?
Investor #3: What can you tell small investors who are really starting to worry?
[ cut to Peter Burke ]
[ SUPER: “Peter Burke, CEO Global Century Investments” ]
Peter Burke: Just this: Relax. The market goes up, the market goes down. But, over the long haul, the market goes up. [ a hand is raised ] Yes?
Investor #4: Is there any chance the stocks might rebound this year?
Peter Burke: I’m really the wrong guy to ask. I got completely out of stocks in late ’99, and I haven’t followed the market since.
Investor #5: You got out of the market three years ago?
Peter Burke: Yes. You see.. around that time, we at Global Century became convinced that stocks were headed for a crash, and that bonds were the safer bet. And, we were right. My own bond portfolio is up nearly 30%.
Investor #5: But, if you were moving out of stocks and into bonds three years ago, why were your brokers telling people like me to do the exact opposite.
Peter Burke: Well, obviously, if you think, as we did, that stocks are heading down, and you want to unload them before a crash, you have to convince somebody out there to buy them. That’s just common sense. [ a hand is raised ] Yes?
Investor #6: Back in the summer of 2001, I wanted to move money into some defense-related and home security stocks, but your brokers talked me out of it. Is that because you and your friends were buying those stocks and wanted to keep the price down?
Peter Burke: Exactly! We felt that, with the 9/11 terror attacks coming up later in the summer, that sector of the market would probabyl triple in value. And, once again, we were right.
Investor #7: [ amazed ] You knew in advance about 9/11?
Peter Burke: Basically. [ a hand is raised ] Yes?
Investor #8: So, earlier, when you said you don’t own any stocks, that was a lie, right?
Peter Burke: Correct. That was a lie. [ a hand is raised ] Yes?
Investor #9: Hi. Like a lot of us here, I followed your broker’s advice, and, over the last few years, I lost 80% of my life savings.
Peter Burke: That does not surprise me at all.
Investor #9: I’d just like to say, that even though I think you’re an evil person, and even though I came here intending to kill you, I’ve been really impressed with your honesty.
