Powell Blasts Cheney’s Book
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell characterizing former Vice President Dick Cheney’s criticism at members of the Bush administration in his new memoir, In My Time, as “cheap shots,” CNN reports.
Powell said Cheney “had a long and distinguished career, and I hope in his book that is what he will focus on, not these cheap shots that he’s taking at me and other members of the administration who served to the best of our ability for President Bush.”
Is Rick Perry Dumb?
Politico: “Doubts about Perry’s intellect have hounded him since he was first elected as a state legislator nearly three decades ago. In Austin, he’s been derided as a right-place, right-time pol who looks the part but isn’t so deep — ‘Gov. Goodhair.’ Now, with the chatter picking back up among his enemies and taking flight in elite Republican circles, the rap threatens to follow him to the national stage.”
Said one former Republican governor: “He’s like Bush only without the brains.”
