2004 Presidential Transition
Douglas Feith, Undersecretary of Defense, resigned yesterday. From the DOD press release, "Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas J. Feith announced today that he would leave his position this summer. As he has informed Secretary Rumsfeld, Mr. Feith made his decision for personal and family reasons."
Mark Noonan writes, on Blogs for Bush, "One has to admire the courage of a fabulously rich, aged white man standing athwart the appointment of a black woman who grew up in poverty such as even Kennedy's nannies, maids, menservants and gardeners have never known."
Saying that Condoleezza Rice grew up in poverty sullies the accomplishments of John Rice, the subject of Mike Littwin's column in today's Rocky Mountain News [January 27, 2005, "Littwin: Like father, like daughter? Maybe not for Rice"]. Mr. Noonan is using a stereotype to attack when the facts do not support his argument. Weak.
