A nasty piece of work has been recalled to join his Master, Jah-Bul-On.
Zbig and Bush senior must be getting some cold shivers (never mind, they'll warm up where they're going!):

I was very pleasantly surprised to find the comments allowed (and the strongest getting most recommendations from other readers); pity our UK papers aren't so accomodating.

| Quote: | | Richard Nixon welcoming his appointment as Ronald Reagan's secretary of state by calling him "the meanest, toughest, most ambitious SOB I ever knew" |
Nixon called him that...
| Quote: | After Reagan was shot during an assassination attempt in 1981, an incident unfolded that revealed the extent of his ambition, and damaged his reputation.
As the president lay stricken in hospital, Haig effectively declared himself the acting president to members of the cabinet – despite not being next-in-line. He then appeared on television, telling a concerned nation: "I am in control here, in the White House." Haig's actions left a sour taste in the mouth for many colleagues and the public, something he later came to understand. One of his biographers once said that Haig knew the third paragraph of his obituary would mention the incident.
He was wrong. But only just. In the New York Times online obituary yesterday, it was in the second paragraph. |
