A NEGATIVE TOO FAR

Secretary of State Colin Powell is everywhere these days. He ushered in the New Year from
Times Square with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Today he’s off to survey the tsunami damage with Florida Governor
Jeb Bush. On top of that, he’s leaving politics, but he’s not
retiring. Powell says he expects to serve the public “in some private way,” possibly as an educator.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if working in the field of mentoring or education or something like that
does not appear on my calendar,” he told the Associated Press. The man seems dazed and
confused, incapable of saying what he means. Four years as an apologist for the Bush regime will
do that, especially if you’ve gone around all that time telling the public the opposite of what
you believe.
