FCC POWELL SETS STAGE FOR EXIT IN INTERVIEW: 'I HAVE A TIRED FAMILY,
TIRED CHILDREN AND A TIRED SPOUSE'
Sun Sep 21 2003 17:25:30 ET

**Exclusive Sneak Preview**

Michael K. Powell, the embattled chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission, appears to be setting the stage for an exit
with a candid interview pipelined for Monday runs of the NEW YORK
TIMES.

Newsroom sources tell DRUDGE that Powell has gone on-the-record with
NYT's Steve Labaton for a wide-ranging explanation of current affairs.

"I have a tired family, tired children and a tired spouse. Candidly, I
once said I would be in this job for three years and then leave,"
Powell explains. "That was three years ago."

"I've been called every name in the book by every opponent in the
book," he adds. "That's classic Washington. If you can't get past
jingoism, you attack the person. I wish the press would focus on more
than who's rebuked and who's rebuking and look at what the best
alternatives are for the public in terms of policy."

Labaton was said to be finalizing the text Sunday evening, for a
Business section lead, sources tell DRUDGE.

Well then the staff needs to know something about RF also.

What do you expect tho? When the only tech types are at whats left of the
monitoring stations. Everyone else seems to be lawyers.
