Rumsfeld the Grammarian

Former Lt. Gen. Mike DeLong said that Rumsfeld corrected his grammar the first time he briefed the secretary.

"He said, 'Stop. ... General, there was no verb in the last sentence," DeLong said.

My first reaction as well! Great minds think alike.

At first I was thinking the Lt. Gen. was speaking AAVE (deleting his copula). But more likely he probably read a bullet point.
