Rumsfeld dines with Fox News CEO, Wall Street Journal editor, William Safire

Raw Story | March 10 2005

Roll Call’s Mary Ann Akers will reveal Thursday that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld dined earlier this week with Fox News CEO Roger Ailes and Sen. John Thune, the man who took out former Democratic Minority Leader Sen. Tom Daschle, RAW STORY has learned.

The dinner, Akers is set to report, included Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John Jumper, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, conservative columnist William Safire and Wall Street Journal editorial page editor Paul Gigot, and their wives.

“Despite incessant rumors of Rumseld’s imminent departure, [Aker’s] source said the secretary was ‘in a great mood, buoyed by recent events in the Middle East, especially in Lebanon.’ The source said Rumsfeld talked at length about the ‘power of people’ in the Middle East.

“There was

also talk at the dinner of Thune’s victory over Daschle,” Akers adds. “The Senator thanked Gigot for The Wall Street Journal’s ‘anti-Daschle editorials,’ the source said, adding that Rumsfeld seemed ‘very eager to hear about the race.’”

“Safire asked Thune if he had decided what he wanted his legacy in the Senate to be,” she continues. “Thune noted that he is the first South Dakotan in 50 years to join the Armed Services Committee, and he also mentioned his interest in energy policy. But he joked, ‘I’m still working to make it through each day.’”

The column is titled “Rummy and Cokes.”
