Score One for Powell

It’s become almost routine for members of the American press to throw dumb or leading questions at members of the Bush administration.

Maybe that’s one of the reasons why Secretary of State Colin Powell seemed so well prepared for the shifty question recently hurled at him by an Iraqi reporter.

According to the New York Post, one of Saddam’s newshounds asked Powell, “Isn't it true that only 13 percent of young Americans can locate Iraq on a map?”

“That may be true,” Powell countered. “You're probably right. But unfortunately for you, all 13 percent are Marines.”

The Left Coast Report doesn’t expect that Al Jazeera will be broadcasting that little exchange any time soon.

    Boy am I glad to see that there are some celebs in favor of attacking Iraq. I'm sure that unlike their left-wing counterparts, their views are well thought out, devoid of simplistic rhetoric, and not at all motivated by a desire to always be in the news, no matter what. In the grocery store check out line, I noticed Bruce on the cover of Good Housekeeping. Meanwhile, Parade magazine indicates that Demi has been reduced, after being enlarged for Striptease a few yrs ago. I really think these two should get back together, if only to have another well-publicized split, which would boost both their careers.:rolleyes:
