Please! No more challenges!

As you know, a couple days ago, Colin Powell challenged John Kerry to come forward with the names of some of the foreign leaders who he says want President Bush turned out of office.

“If he feels it is that important an assertion to make, he ought to list some names. If he can’t list names, then perhaps he should find something else to talk about.”

After that he apparently upped the ante, denying Kerry’s claims that he, Powell, had been undermined or sidelined in administration foreign policy debates.

“Name a specific issue,” said Powell, “where it looks like I have been marginalized.”

Sorta sad, isn’t it?
