Rumsfeld gets the "Foot in Mouth Award" from the Plain English Campaign, for the following statement in a Pentagon press briefing:

Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are 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.
