Quite rightly won by Donald Rumsfeld for this gem...
"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"
He then backed that up with...
"I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said, but I know what I think... and I assume it's what I said"
The BBC website reported fans of Rumsfeld as saying that he is often misunderstood.
