No it wouldn't though I doubt it is even true.

You might want to do some research on Richard Perle's history as a member of Senator Henry (Scoop) Jackson's staff in the 1970s, and as a Defense Department official for the Reagan administration in the 1980s. Alabama (Republican) Senator Jeremiah Denton, a retired Navy Admiral (and one of the most heavily-decorated military men in U.S. history) whose seven years as a POW in Vietnam are chronicled in his autobiography When Hell Was In Session, despised Perle -- and for good reason. I am not even worthy to tie Mr. Denton's shoes, but he and I have one thing in common that Mr. Perle cannot even claim . . . neither one of us has ever worked on the staff of a Democratic U.S. Senator.

How laughable. Scoop Jackson was not a democRAT in today's mold and his concerns about our defense was quite republican. Jackson was not a looney lefty by any means and no one working for him can be legitimately discredited thereby. And it was 30 yrs ago making it even less relevent to anything.

I don't really care what Senator Denton thought about Perle what does that have to do with anything. I care what President Bush thinks of him and if he is OK by George that is good enough for me.
