Do people like Colon Powell because he makes Condi Leza Rice look like Malcom X?

Question

Why do the Republicans always fire the honest ones?

Answer 1

I like Colin Powell because he is a fine person.
And Condaleeza Rice is about as far removed from Malcom X as it is possible to be.
She is more educated, and more experienced in International Law than General Powell.

BTW - General Powell resigned. He was not fired.

Answer 2

Because they are honest and would not team up with the neocons.
