Uh Oh! Woodward writing another book!

[Solomon]

Tucker Carlson says white house is worried about upcoming book and it's rumored that Powell will try to use the book to separate himself from the neo-cons.

Wooo hooo!

2. Does Tucker say that on CNN, I'd love to read the Transcript.

[Solomon]

3. Said it on Tweety's show this morning. NBC

[FauxNewsBlues]

5. McLaughlin group this week-end

That was his political hot tip of the week. That the book would be negative on Bush, and Powell distancing himself from the neo-con cabal.

7. 'Scuse me but what Tweety show is on Sunday Morning ?

Didn't know ....

11. The Chris Matthews Show

11:30am EST (in the NYC market)

Tweety and four guests in a roundtable. (not nearly as loud as McLaughlin and he does get a variety of viewpoints. Tucker is still a cretin though. today he had David Gregory and a BBC corresponant.

4. AND - also on Tweety's show

A request for an independant prosecutor next week for the Medicare overhaul sham, AND whether the WH would quash a Condi sworn testimony.

ALL bad for the WH (yay)

6. Too late, Colon Blow

That blood on your hands will never come off, even if you use Bon-Ami.

8. Woodward book?

Does anyone know, specifically, what the upcoming Woodward book will be about?

[Solomon]

9. Maybe he's suffering from a conscience attack since he wrote that

book praising Bush like he was a caesar or something. I suspect that Colin won't be the only person backing off.

10. Amen...

He has completely disgraced himself. NOW, he wants to distance himself when the s*** is hitting the fan - how convenient for him. Do the dirty work then run away to keep his reputation intact - Bastard.

13. Better late than never...

NOW, he wants to distance himself when the s*** is hitting the fan - how convenient for him.

That's probably part of it, but Colin Powell has been out of the limelight for a while now... perhaps by his own preference.

Any apology has three parts:

1. Admit what you did or failed to do that was wrong.
2. Do whatever possible to make restitution.
3. Take measures to try to ensure that the same kind of thing cannot happen again.

Because there are three parts, I will accept any apology but also watch to see the follow-up in order to decide about the sincerity of the apology.

Powell is already planning not to be involved with the administration should there be a second term (G-d forbid!). Not everyone has the disposition to become a crusader and whistle-blower. Some do best working quietly behind the scenes. Let's see what happens.

[The Night Owl]

12. Regardless of Powell's history of siding with crooks and liars...

I welcome Powell's defection from the Bush administration. I welcome anyone's defection from the Bush administration. I can forgive a lot in order to see the junta disgraced finally.

I am not going to hold my breath waiting for Powell to grow a conscience, mind you. I will believe it when I see it.
