It was cute.
Now it's just an annoyance.

Forget it.
Bush loves Powell.
Powell loves Bush.
Colin is quitting to spend more time polishing Georgie's boots in Crawford.
Happy?
hmmmmmmm MSNBC didn't say a thing about polishing boots :-? :-? Besides Bush isn't a REAL cowboy anyway - his boots never get dirty.

Powell's a black man who doesn't worship at the liberal altar. He must be a bootlicker. :roll:

I don't have the time to pull specifics for you.... But they're numerous enough that I'd almost have to go with "common knowlegde" on this one. It's already the predominant theme in most of the coverage of his resignation and, as I said, the Washington Post talked about it over a YEAR AGO.

Would you like it from Fox News?
Allison said Powell's resignation should come as no surprise to those who have watched as the secretary tired of battles against Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (search), whose national security and foreign policy views often won administration approval over Powell's more diplomatic approach.

Among those disputes was whether Al Qaeda and deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein were linked. At the United Nations, Powell also staked his reputation on intelligence data that showed Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Those weapons have not been found.

"His credibility has gone down considerably over the last couple years to the point that he and his staff have largely been engaged in, let's say, hit-and-run tactics against a more powerful secretary of defense," FOX News contributor and former ambassador Mark Ginsberg said.

"He [and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage (search)] thought the White House was far too peppered with ideologues," said Chicago Tribune editor James Warren.
