No wonder he has not been visible. I'm surprised he is not getting the Seeds rather than Surgery.

12-15-2003 Secretary of State Colin Powell Has Prostate Cancer Surgery

Spokesman Adam Ereli said the surgery had been scheduled for some time and he described it as "routine intervention."

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery and continuing good health for General Powell.

Sounds like Cheney's ideas aren't the only things rubbing off on him.

I know that this is the Politics and News forum, but that doesn't mean that someone has to post *every* bit off news that pops up on the web.

A chance to cut is a chance to cure.

Seriously!

SecState going for cancer surgery doesn't strike me as "*every* bit off[sic] news"

Seriously!

There have been rumors over the last couple years that there has been infighting in the White House between the more conservative memebers (Cheney, Rummsfeld, and the Neo Cons) and the more moderaate staff (Powell, Rice) regarding policy. The thought is that the neo cons were forcing their beliefs on the more moderate people.

So, some of the ideas may be rubbing off on Powell. The second part is a play on Cheney's tip-top physical condition. Maybe that's rubbing off as well.

I didn't really think it was that inside of a joke.

Maybe we all thought you were somehow confusing Cheney's heart problems with a prostate problem. The two areas don't correlate too well, hence the confusion.

Whatever. No matter the relationship, Powell is miles away from the slime that which is Dick. May his meat-n-two-veg (and associated 'wiring') heal quickly and without issue.
