16. Mr. Powell, that could have been you...

...sitting behind that desk in the Oval. You could have been that transformational figure.

But you chose to throw your lot in with the Neocons, and that proved to the world what a tool and a lackey you really are. Actually, I'm glad you chose to expose your toolness the way you did. No one will ever be fooled by you again.

Go ahead and "keep your powder dry," or whatever, Mr. Powell. Nobody really cares.

Remember when Powell used to matter? BeyondGeography May 2012 #1
