Colin & Brown, sitting in a tree.....
Seems thereâs more to the story, via Lucianne:...Powell was recalling for the panel his review of the prewar intelligence. "I went and lived at the CIA for about four days to make sure that nothing was," he began, then he paused and glared at a staffer seated behind the members of Congress. "Are you shaking your head for something, young man, back there?" Powell asked. "Are you part of these proceedings?" (Uh, who, ME??? No, Mr. Secretary, itâs just a nervous tick, I work for Congressman Brown. Does State have an opening????" Powellâs unusual remarks threatened to derail the hearing. Rep. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, a 12-year veteran of the House, objected, "Mr. Chairman, Iâve never heard a witness reprimand a staff person in the middle of a question." (The esteemed Congressman should get out more and walk amongst the little people, become one of them.) Powell shot back, "I seldom come to a meeting where I am talking to a congressman and I have people aligned behind you giving editorial comment by head shakes." Thereâs the problem, Powell thought he was at a meeting, Brown was at a tribunal. Posted by: Anonymous2U 2004-02-12 |
