The value of Powell:

Dems convinced themselves that Gore was a better candidate than the preppy lightweight GOP candidate. Gore was not anybody's prize, and they knew it. So to continue their self-delusion of Gore being more qualified than Bush after the election, they said that Cheney ran the show and Powell was the steadying hand of dovish reality.

Now they have painted themselves into the corner where the Bush cabinet has them completely without any room for dissent.

Now they have painted themselves into the corner where the Bush cabinet has them completely without any room for dissent.

You underestimate their ability to lie to others and to themselves. Powell is now obviously Bush's puppet. The UN is obviously controlled by the US. Etc.
