NYPress - The Gist - Michelangelo Signorile - Vol. 17, Iss. 5: "It was only last year when Kay was goring Blix and insinuating there were plenty of WMDs to find. But clearly Kay decided he had to save whatever was left of his reputation after falling in with the wrong crowd–he even admitted some of his staff were 'almost in tears,' saying they felt so badly over not finding weapons–so he hit the talk show circuit and congressional committees. As a rightly smug Blix cracked about Kay’s turnaround last week: 'I was beginning to wonder what was going on. Weren’t they wondering too? If you find yourself on a train that’s going in the wrong direction, it’s best to get off at the next stop.'
The White House, however, is continuing full speed ahead on the runaway train, with Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney as the conductors, and Colin Powell having sold the one-way tickets for the trip straight into a hellish quagmire. (Think of Bush as a sort of eccentric passenger going along for the ride, sitting up in first class, actually imagining he’s the president of the United States.)"
