In the confusion, Mr.\u00a0Powell could be heard saying, &#8220;He&#8217;s still asking me questions,&#8221; to which a woman&#8217;s voice answered, &#8220;No, he&#8217;s not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  Mr.\u00a0Powell, still off camera, said, &#8220;Tim, I&#8217;m sorry, I lost you,&#8221; and added, &#8220;Emily, get out of the way.&#8221; Mr.\u00a0Russert, slightly irate, responded: &#8220;I think that was one of your staff, Mr.\u00a0Secretary. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s appropriate.&#8221; After a few seconds the camera returned to Mr.\u00a0Powell and he finished the interview.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Video of the interview can be found on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onlisareinsradar.com\/archives\/002135.php\" title=\"On Lisa Rein's Radar: Colin Powell on Meet the Press\">Lisa Rein&#8217;s Radar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boingboing.net\/2004\/05\/17\/powell_forces_press_.html\" title=\"Powell forces press aide to let him answer Meet the Press question\">Boing Boing<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/archive.scripting.com\/2004\/05\/17#When:9:16:34AM\" title=\"Yesterday's Meet the Press...\">Dave Winer<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><strong>iTunes:<\/strong> &#8220;Trouble In Mind&#8221; by Joplin, Janis from the album <em>Janis<\/em> (1965, 3:03).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s something you don&#8217;t see in today&#8217;s political arena very often these days.
