Did anyone read about Little Georgey's get together yesterday with 13 former secretaries of state and defense? To peruse the Washington Post Jim VandeHei's "Voices From History Echo Anew", you would think that Lyndon Johnson was again agonizing with the 'Wise Men' over Vietnam strategy.
Yet in graph five of the New York Times coverage, it states that Bush allowed "five to ten minutes for interchange with the group". Five to ten minutes! That's 20 to 40 seconds per secretary! Roughly enough time for Melvin Laird's voice to "echo anew" to Harold Brown about which coffee cup was his.
Yes VandeHei is a fraud and a hack...but if he's allowed to trowel his pathetic drivel about virtually unprecedented bipartisan advice-seeking, at least the headline for such a thing could read "Impatient Fool Holds Photo Op".
*By the way...having watched the Honeymooners marathon over New Year's Day, here is the perfect name for the thing that currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania..."The Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler" ("Emperor Of All Raccoondom" -optional)
