Trashing Paul

Earlier today Kevin Drum warned:

BETTER DUCK AND COVER, PAUL....{snip} But then there's this:
O'Neill, who was asked to resign because of his opposition to the tax cut, says he doesn't think his tell-all account in this book will be attacked by his former employers as sour grapes. "I will be really disappointed if [the White House] reacts that way," he tells Stahl. "I can't imagine that I am going to be attacked for telling the truth."
He's got to be kidding. After all this time is he really that clueless about the kind of people he's dealing with?
And just a few minutes ago from Hesiod:
IT'S STARTING: Drudge has a preview quote from a "White House source" attacking former Treasury Secretary, Paul O'Neill.

The White House got its "side" of the story into the Washington Post before O'Neill's interview with Leslie Stall airs on "60 Minutes" tomorrow night.

Good. I hope they piss Paul off even more, and he starts saying all sorts of "crazy" things.

The upcoming week could be a lot of fun.
