May 19, 2007, 4:31 a.m.YOUR PROFILE'S NAME "atlas-shrugged" DO NOT FITT YOUR PERFIDIOUS ATTACK ON COLIN POWELL whom believed when Bush lied about WMD... Colin Powell is a fine man, best alive military commander and good American.
And as far for Rice and (Speedy) Gnozales they are nothing but modern "mental slave" and works for their masters, for 'neo con' racist whites, just like yourself are doing, but you are... I just wasting time.

May 19, 2007, 5:16 p.m.I hate to rain on your parade, atlas-shrugged, but all your information is inaccurate.
The first "african-american" to hold a cabinet position was Robert C. Weaver, who was appointed Secretary of Housing and Urban Development By President Johnson in 1966.
The first "african-american woman to rise to cabinet level" was Patricia Roberts Harris, who was appointed by President Carter to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in 1977, and then to be Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1979.
The first "hispanic to rise to cabinet level" was Dr. Lauro Cavazos, who was appointed by President Reagan to be Secretary of Education in 1988.
President Bush deserves credit for including women and minorities in his government, but that credit should not be given at the expense of those who came before.

May 19, 2007, 1:09 p.m.It is very interesting how this blog started 21 hours ago and has had only 33 votes and 9 comments.
This phenomena may be the reflection of our disregard of non war related events occurring overseas, or may be also secondary to franco-phobia promoted by the Neo-Cons.

May 19, 2007, 9:10 p.m.Almost thought France had something going up until this news. I'm still going to hold out hope that this eclectic cabinet is no more than a facade Sarkozy can use to appease the militant left-wing of France and keep them under raps.
