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. Developing... |

In article k.net, "Dan/W4NTI" w4nti@get rid of this mindspring.com writes: Wouldn't it be great if the next political appointee actually had some idea of RF communications technology ? Dan/W4NTI Dan: Forgive my cynicism, but since when has practical knowledge and experience in a particular field of endeavor ever been a requirement to become a political appointee? Mr. Powell became FCC Chairman because he's a rare commodity in Washington politics: a black Republican. And, I guess, being Colin Powell's son didn't hurt much, either. Michael gave President Bush another way to pay off Secretary of State Powell for not running against him in the Presidential race, and add some "diversity" to his administration. A double-whammy. I just wonder what kind of new nightmare we'll get in Michael's place? Of course, in fairness to Chairman Powell, he does have a point about the political back stabbing. However, I guess that's what we get when we allow our government to be run mainly by career politicians who are all beholden to special interests. I believe that the only way to correct this situation is to never vote for an incumbent seeking his third or subsequent term in a non-term limited office. 73 de Larry, K3LT Points well taken, no arguement from me on them. Maybe the next commissioner will be on the board of Alabama Power. The corporation that has taken 5 years (so far) to clean up their trashy noisy lines. Can't wait till they try BPL. Dan/W4NTI |
