All of this is stinging McCain more than he is letting on. In an interview with reporters before the 2000 election, after most the policy questions had been asked, McCain responded to questions about who he could name as a personal hero. He started off by saying Lincoln, and then mentioned he was intrigued by Teddy Roosevelt. Asked for a favorite living hero, he immediately said, "Colin Powell. Served his country. A wonderful man." Like I said, this rebuke from Powell, and if you watched it on Meet the Press a very lengthy rebuke, has gotta hurt big time.
