Secretary of State Colin Powell was at a budget hearing Wednesday when Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) told him the “president may have been AWOL.”
Powell’s response: “I won’t dignify your comments about the president, because you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Brown: “I’m sorry. I don’t know what you mean, Mr. Secretary.”
Powell: “You made reference to the president. . . . “
Brown: ” . . . Said he may have been AWOL.”
Powell: “Mr. Brown, let’s not go there. Let’s not just go there. Let’s not go there in this hearing. You want to have a political fight on this matter that’s very controversial, and I think is being dealt with by the White House, fine. But let’s not go there.”
