| Seems there’s more to the story, via Lucianne: ...Powell was recalling for the panel his review of the prewar intelligence. "I went and lived at the CIA for about four days to make sure that nothing was," he began, then he paused and glared at a staffer seated behind the members of Congress. "Are you shaking your head for something, young man, back there?" Powell asked. "Are you part of these proceedings?" (Uh, who, ME??? No, Mr. Secretary, it’s just a nervous tick, I work for Congressman Brown. Does State have an opening????" Powell’s unusual remarks threatened to derail the hearing. Rep. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, a 12-year veteran of the House, objected, "Mr. Chairman, I’ve never heard a witness reprimand a staff person in the middle of a question." (The esteemed Congressman should get out more and walk amongst the little people, become one of them.) Powell shot back, "I seldom come to a meeting where I am talking to a congressman and I have people aligned behind you giving editorial comment by head shakes." There’s the problem, Powell thought he was at a meeting, Brown was at a tribunal. |

| #4 Note the poker player at work. Shows up Sunday on with Russert and is almost universally panned for his inarticulate poor performance. Media raise the stakes on AWOL. Rummy shows up Monday at a Pentagon briefing and rocks the reporters. Then Powell rolls into Congress and cuts new ones for Dem Reps. Press are handed NG dental records. Hold or Fold? Wanna play another hand? |

| #3 Dar, He'd better start. Powell was the representative making the case at the UN. |

| #2 Damn! Why doesn't he come across like this more often? I'm glad State hasn't sapped all the vim and vigor from the man just yet. I'd like to see him on the ticket one way or another in '08! |

| #1 Powell seems to have had a little Rummy rub off on him. Excellent! |
