Rumsfeld Rips Rice, Powell
In an ABC News interview to promote his new memoir, Known and Unknown, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was very critical of some of his colleagues in the Bush administration.
Condoleezza Rice: “She’d never served in a senior administration position” — a lack of experience that showed in her lack of organization in putting together critical meetings.
Colin Powell: “Did not, in my view, do a good job of managing the people under him. There was a lot of leaking out of the State Department, and the president knew it. And it was unhelpful. And most of it ended up making the State Department look good. We didn’t do that in the Pentagon. I insisted we not do it.”
A Long List of Candidates Already
Open Secrets points out that 85 people have already filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to run for the presidency in 2012. Among them are President Emperor Caesar, Jonathon the Impaler Sharkey and Rutherford Bert Hayes.
“Perhaps the closest we get to a maybe-was-household-name-in-a-few-households-about-20-years-ago candidate is Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, an organization that sprung to prominence during the 1990s as it attempted to shut down abortion clinics across the nation. Terry filed a statement of candidacy on Jan. 18, and he’s running as a Democrat.”
