On Meet the Press today, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich engaged in a little bit of Republican revisionist history today by trying to lay blame for the claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction on Colin Powell, not Dick Cheney.
The dominate story of the Sunday morning talk shows was the moderate Republican counter attack led by Colin Powell and Tom Ridge against Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney. On CNN’s State of the Union, Ridge called Limbaugh “shrill and divisive,” and on Face the Nation, Powell called Limbaugh an entertainer who should be open to criticism.
Colin Powell was on Face the Nation this morning, and he used his appearance to fire back at both Rush Limbaugh and Dick Cheney’s claims that he is not a Republican anymore. Powell said that Cheney had been misinformed, and Limbaugh is an entertainer who is entitled to his own opinion.
