Fox also is claming Energy Secretary Abraham is out the door as well..
Powell had long made it known that he wasn't going to stick around for a second term, win or lose. He disagrees with alot of what Bush has chosen to do, and only agrees with him in public because he has to.
Cheney made it through 4 years, he can make it through another 4. He just needs to avoid the viagra.
I really hope Rumsfeld leaves. I can't stand him.
too sick to their stomachs with eeeeevil?
Doesn't surprise me too much, he always seemed like he was thinking contrary to what the administration made him say.
cnn is not left wing, i really wish people would stop saying that nonsenseQuote:
In reality none of the news networks are left-wing or right-wing, they're all businesses seeking to deliver a demographic to their advertisers. The people at FOX use the perception of the liberal media vs. them to try and rake in a demographic - conservatives. Ergo, if the conservatives are tuned into FOX then whose left watching CNN? Liberals. The real battle between left-wing vs right-wing bias is far more stark in the print media than on television.Quote:

After winning they immediately turned Powell into the administration's apologist and scape-goat for the entire term. For him NOT to leave would have been downright masochistic of him. He knows his future in politics is dead now, which is sad because it was obvious this position was sold to him initially as part of a grooming process for his own bid on the Presidency.
