THE OVERHEARD SERIES60707
"Colin, you should have listened to me in 2000. If you had joined the Democratic Party as the candidate for Secretary of Defense in the Gore ticket, George Bush would now be a filthy rich oilman but the nation would be fiscally sane, loved and admired by everyone and really safe!"
President Clinton smiled as he said these words to Colin Powell. He then poured more of that delightful Chambolle Mussingy in both their glasses and waited for Colin Powell's reply:
"I guess I should have, Mister President. We probably would not be in the holy mess we are in! I must assume a large share of the blame"
"Right! " exclaimed the ex-President, while he raised his glass of wine. He let Powell drink and then sat back and looked at Powell intensely.
Clinton said:
"As we were saying, you are largely responsible for the present chaos and must be punished"
"You must be joking Mister President!"
"I am not. Try walking after having drunk that wine!"
