UPDATE: I guess my comment below about being surprised at 50% of attendees not clapping for Powells rah-rah about Iraq was not
far off the mark.

A while back, at one of my firm's conferences, Colin Powell spoke. It was in front of people who are probably 90% Repubs. His speech was complete with not one but TWO snarky whines about that big meanie Michael Moore, one stab each at the NYT and Wash. Post., and there was one quip about Newsweek. You know how they can't get those quotes right. Snicker, snicker!
More below the fold . . .
He talked about flying around in a taxpayer paid-for 757, with military escort. How he loved it when his right foot hit the bottom step and the engines began turning. When he sat down at in his private office on board and was served a pepsi, they were in the air. He actually said it was, "Pretty cool." You are welcome Colin. No thanks necessary or apparently forthcoming.
