A Plan Called Mitchell

by digby

I had to laugh a little bit when I heard that George Mitchell was being called upon as Mideast Envoy, not because there’s anything funny about him or the mideast, but because of something that George W. Bush used to say back in the beginning of his tenure that always cracked me up.

No matter what happens, out new president will not be saying silly things like this:

Tuesday, April 2, 2002
“We’ve got a plan,” Bush said. “It’s a security plan called Tenet; it’s a political plan called Mitchell.

And remember, at the time, this was the man everyone was comparing to Churchill.
