Bobe, was the 5th word in your phrase "...as I was listening tom Powell..." a typo? Or, not? / And speakin' of aunt jemimae, I heard Condoleeza Rice coyly avoid saying "No" when asked on Meet the Press whether she might run for VP if Dick (so to speak) croaks uh that is to say, steps aside. How'd you fellers like *that*? Haw.

But no, I don't think Gen. Powell is being left holding the Bag, dad. You watch: the Shrub will step up to the plate like a man & speak directly for Cheney, Wolfowitz & Rove (WARS IS US), in the State of the Onion tomorrow night.
