73. Don't forget...

Edited on Tue Feb-24-04 06:23 PM by hf_jai

Cohen is/was a Republican.

What on earth disposed Bill Clinton to make Cohen his SecDef I'll never know.

Yeah, yeah, "spirit of bipartisanship"... and all the crap he took for Les Aspin and Somalia. But it was a bad move that would haunt Clinton's foreign policy for the rest of his administation. You can only deal fairly when you deal with fair men.

I've heard tell that Clinton told Shelton to his face that he was going with Clark's recommendations (which, by law, it was his authority and responbility to make directly) and Shelton almost choked.

(edited for grammar)
