Powell Fights Back

The Boston Globe reports that Colin Powell had some harsh words for Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh last night. The two vocal conservatives have been giving Powell a hard time lately, and Powell's had enough. "Rush Limbaugh says, 'Get out of the Republican Party.' Dick Cheney says, 'He's already out.' I may be out of their version of the Republican Party, but there's another version of the Republican Party waiting to emerge once again," Powell told a crowd of 1,500 business leaders (and oddly, Gisele Bundchen, who was there with Tom Brady.) Sounds like he and Meghan McCain would have a lot to talk about these days.
