A Very Brief Telephone Conversation.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrring………
John O’Neill: “Hello.”
John Kerry: “May I please speak with John O’Neill?”
John O’Neill: “Speaking.”
John Kerry: “Hi, John. This is John Kerry.”
John O’Neill: “I recognized your voice.”
John Kerry: “John. I have to tell you that you and those Swift Boat guys are really giving me a hard time, and I was wondering whether you might be interested in establishing some kind of truce.”
John O’Neill:
John Kerry: “Let me be frank, John. You know — sailor to sailor.”
John O’Neill:
John Kerry: “OK, well, I’m putting together a list of people I would like to have serve in my administration, if I win this thing in November. Seeing as how you are a former Navy officer and a Vietnam Vet, I was wondering whether you might be interested in serving as my Secretary of the Navy.”
John O’Neill: “‘Sailor to sailor’ did you say?”
John Kerry: “Absolutely.”
John O’Neill: “Shove off, asshole.”
