[Cicero]

O'Neill was fired because he shot off his big mouth, repeatedly saying that the Bush tax cuts were useless. (Which not only was politically stupid and disloyal, but untrue.) He just wouldn't shut up, so they had to fire him. Now, he's obviously resentful and trying to get back at Bush.

Hey Mr. O'Neill, put a sock in it, willya?!

[Matchett-PI]

You're right. As Brit Hume said, "It has always been 'all about him' from the beginning."

The Democrats and CBS had no use for O'Neill until he turned against Bush. Now, he's the top story for almost a week.

I totally agree with you. This man is pissed because of the terrible job he did. Yes, Brit Hume was very forthtelling about this man. Maybe if he had been a good treasury secty we would somewhat believe and listen to what he said, but he wasn't he was terrible. Everytime he got on the sunday shows I cringed because he didn't stand up for this administrations policies. It seemed as if he didn't even know what was going on half the time.

You are exactly correct .. and I have read that the guy from the Weekly Standard has said that the war plans for Iraq were drawn up during the Clinton admin .. and were included with the info given to Bush when he took office.

"O'Neill was fired because he shot off his big mouth, repeatedly saying that the Bush tax cuts were useless. (Which not only was politically stupid and disloyal, but untrue.) He just wouldn't shut up....

...he wanted to further tighten energy regulations, he visiously opposed further tax cuts, he's a global warming priest AND he was more worried about traveling Africa on an AIDS tour with Bono than with US monetary policy...

"so they had to fire him"
