**Exclusive Details**

An aide to Sec. of State Colin Powell ordered a halt to a MEET THE PRESS interview and directed a camera to shoot a palm tree during provocative questioning by host Tim Russert!

Powell was being interview by satellite from Jordan.

State Department press aide Emily Miller fumed as Tim Russert went beyond the 10 minutes allotted for the NBC Sunday session.

On her show this AM, Laura Ingraham wondered why, if this was a TAPED interview, the whole thing couldn’t have been edited.

My Answer : Russert became a Druid convert, and wanted to show his ecumenicism by conversing with a Palm Tree which is unknown in England, the home location of the Druid faith.
