Kissinger’s Harsh Words for Brzezinski

A newly-released State Department history quotes Henry Kissinger during a March 1976 meeting of top Ford administration officials as they discussed Jimmy Carter’s presidential campaign and his foreign policy adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski.

Said Kissinger: “Brzezinski is a total whore. He’s been on every side of every argument. He wrote a book on Peaceful Engagement and now that we are doing most of what he said in the book, he charges us with weakness.”

The Washington Post asked Brzezinski for comment: “Henry is a friend of mine — he must have meant ‘bore.'”
