The Vice President in the library with the candlestick

this interchange between Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, says it all...

JONES: [W]here along the way – how did these people so early on get so much power that they had more influence in those in the administration to make decisions than you the professionals?

WILKERSON: Let me try to answer you first. Let me say right off the bat I’m glad to see you here.

JONES: Thank you sir.

WILKERSON: As a Republican, I’m somewhat embarrassed by the fact that you’re the only member of my party here.

JONES: I agree.

WILKERSON: But I understand it. I’d answer you with two words. Let me put the article in there and make it three. The Vice President.

(thanks to think progress...)
