Not a Fan of Holbrooke


The best leaked quote from Bob Woodward's new book, Obama's Wars, is Vice President Joe Biden calling special envoy Richard Holbrooke "the most egotistical bastard I've ever met."

1. Hah. I can hear Biden saying.."and you can quote me on that." n/t

Good for Biden. I don't like that guy either and he is just another example to me of too much Clinton era thinking in this administration. I hope Obama tosses them all overboard soon.

Still 1000 times better than the alternative though.

4. Ego and likability aside, it is telling that he has not been the key person

for the Obama administration when there have been major problems in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. He is the special envoy to that region.

5. No kidding

We need to clone that "key person". :)

3. Actually, the best, most ironic quote is...

Gen. Patreaus saying that Axelrod is nothing but a 'complete spin doctor'.
