Reply #7: Powell is an island of integrity when compared to the other minions [View All]

[HEFFA]

I didn't read Kerr's comment as overt praise for Powell. What he's noting is that Powell has at least admitted the inaccuracy of his previous statements. He's also bemoaning the fact that you won't see such an admission from anyone else in the White House. Doesn't this fact set him apart from others in the administration? Speaking metaphorically, isn't this an acceptable basis for referring to him as an "island" (isolated, distant from others)?

I would also note that Kerr is worthy of praise on his own, because he refuses to trumpet the "liberation of the Iraqi people" nonsense that we hear from virtually everyone else in the media. In my eyes, this makes him an island of integrity in a sea of media mediocrity.

Like Kerr, I am frustrated that what otherwise seems obvious remains a mystery to some.
