You have to remember, Kaplan's in a bind: he has to be nice to Powell because Powell's African-American, yet be dismissive of Powell because Powell's a Republican. Thus, he turns Powell into a victim of the evil, evil Bush administration - and can now handily recast Powell's dressing down of an insolent Democratic staffer as a minor, stress-related breakdown instead of the righteous smackdown that it was. Or something like that. :) "This assessment is rather bizarre in that, as best I can tell, not only is Powell not destroyed but he’s also been rather influential within the Administration."
