(Page 2 of 2)
But Jeff Sessions has it right. As another Southern gentleman of my acquaintance often says, “If you can’t run with the big dogs, you’d better go sit on the porch.” That admonition should be taken to heart by all the ankle biters in Congress and the press who are calling for the beheading of Big Dog Don Rumsfeld. Their criticisms — especially those coming from congressional Republicans — are the worst sort of cowardice and political opportunism.
