 WASHINGTON
(Reuters) – Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he does not know whether
or not he has lost his mojo, as a leading news magazine
suggested, because he doesn’t really know what mojo is.
"Is Rumsfeld Losing His Mojo?" was the headline in Time magazine
above a story about Rumsfeld’s recent difficulties concerning Iraq policy
and
differences with U.S. lawmakers.
"Have you lost your mojo?" a reporter asked Rumsfeld during a
Pentagon briefing.
Rumsfeld said he did not consult a dictionary — as he has for words like
slog about which he has sparred with reporters — but he spoke with an
aide who had. "And they asked me that, and I said, ‘I don’t know what it means.’
And they said, ‘In 1926 or something, it had to do with jazz music."’
