Anyone who thinks they can influence Bush by going to Novak has to be several French Fries shy of a Happy Meal.
The Bush admnistration will leak to Dan Rather before it would let Novak know what is going on.
It's hardly a "leak" to say that O'Neill is obviously not right for the job. That's like a "leak" that the sun sets in the West.
Very true. They consider him a loose cannon, to say the least.
On a different subject, why is it when I hear these things about O'Neill, I never hear any specifics? All I can discern from Novak here is the ephemeral complaint that he doesn't talk enough...that he doesn't carry the Bush policies forcefully enough.
I would be interested to hear other FReepers takes on O'Neill's tenure, both good and bad...because frankly, my impressions of the man have always been good...he has always struck me as a rarity in Washington---a truly humble and thoughtful soul.
Thoughts anyone?
