Ex-General Dishes on McCain, Clinton, Gore, Rummy
Retired Army General Hugh Shelton chatted with The Daily Beast's Lloyd Grove about his new memoir, Without Hesitation, "a dishy, take-no-prisoners account of his tour as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff," according to Grove.
In the tome, Shelton takes aim at several popular politicians, including
Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who he says has "a screw loose";
Donald Rumsfeld, who is a stubborn and deceptive politician; and
Al Gore, who, according to Grove, "comes off as a supercilious grandstander."
Shelton added he's relieved McCain wasn't elected president, is "comfortable" with Obama.
Shelton voiced his support for Clinton's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy regarding gays in the military: "I happen to believe that it has been in place for 17 years and it has served our nation and our military well."
