Sometimes the political infighting is boring, but sometimes it's not:

Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, a retired four-star general known for his even temperament, paused yesterday during a congressional hearing to berate a Hill staffer for shaking his head as Powell offered a defense of his prewar statements on Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction.

I've met a few hill staffers before. The junior ones fairly ooze a special kind of elitist obnoxious attitude, sort of like a skunk in a suite (but a skunk at least stinks with a purpose). Anyone b*tch slapping them in public is OK by me. Woot! Go Colin! Go Colin!
