Cabinet members defend Bush from O'Neill

<SKIP>

Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a longtime Bush friend who was chairman of his 2000 campaign, disputed that account Sunday.

"He drives the meeting, asks tough questions. He likes dissent," Evans told CNN's "Late Edition."

O'Neill predicted that his former colleagues -- one of whom has already tried to paint him as a disgruntled former employee with a "tin ear" for politics -- would hit back.

"These people are nasty and they have a long memory," O'Neill told Time.

1. I saw that
the defense seems sort of tepid. I do like remembering that other cabinet members confirmed O'Neill's account. I wonder which ones.

6. Can't stop asking myself how these
handlers and strategists thought they could get away with the killings and takeover. I'm going to try to catch WJ and see how many adoring people and planted apologists call in with words of support for the well-oiled one.

8. Didn't we already give tax cuts to the wealthy?
That is a real tough question! We had a "60 Minutes Party" and were laughing and crying at the same time when we heard * asked that question. "For the first time he was engaged". Dipshit, it was your own policy, you should've known.
