Dan:

Forgive my cynicism, but since when has practical knowledge and
experience in a particular field of endeavor ever been a requirement
to become a political appointee? Mr. Powell became FCC Chairman
because he's a rare commodity in Washington politics: a black
Republican. And, I guess, being Colin Powell's son didn't hurt much,
either. Michael gave President Bush another way to pay off Secretary
of State Powell for not running against him in the Presidential race,
and add some "diversity" to his administration. A double-whammy.
I just wonder what kind of new nightmare we'll get in Michael's place?

Of course, in fairness to Chairman Powell, he does have a point about
the political back stabbing. However, I guess that's what we get when
we allow our government to be run mainly by career politicians who are
all beholden to special interests. I believe that the only way to correct
this situation is to never vote for an incumbent seeking his third or
subsequent term in a non-term limited office.

73 de Larry, K3LT

Sounds like Wayne Greene's "Never Reelect Anyone" campaign. I've got
no problem with that.
