Got this in my email today:

It's become almost routine for members of the American press to throw dumb
leading questions at members of the Bush administration. Maybe that's one
of the reasons why Secretary of State Colin Powell seemed so well prepared
for
the shifty question recently hurled at him by an Iraqi reporter.

According to the New York Post, one of Saddam's newshounds asked Powell,
"Isn't it true that only 13% of young Americans can locate Iraq on a map?"

"That may be true," Powell countered. "You're probably right. But
unfortunately for you, all 13% are Marines."

I sure do wish that man had run for president. He outclasses both of the choices we had last election.
