abroad.

As you know, Wilkerson, Powell's former chief -of-staff, a stalwart Republican, really unloaded on Chimp's management of American Foreign policy.

Doesn't that make Karen Hughes a shit salesman?


This week, Former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s right-hand man unloaded on the Bush Administration during a speech to the New American Foundation, saying American foreign policy had been hijacked by “a Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal” that has destroyed this country’s credibility with its allies.

“I’m not sure the State Department even exists anymore,” Col. Larry Wilkerson, Powell’s chief of staff, told the audience of journalists and scholars. “It, like so many others things, have been destroyed by George W. Bush’s ‘cowboyism.’”

Wilkerson dismisses the Administration’s attempts to improve America’s image abroad.

“You can’t sell shit,” he said.

3. Ha, ain't that the truth

Still unbelievable that up to 37% of Americans are still buying into the Bush Administration's crap. Bush is just begging for an impeachment.

Stick a US flag in it and it seems to fetch a pretty high price here.
