EDITORIAL JUDGMENT….The Washington Post ran this story today:
The most popular Republican in the country will not be speaking at the Republican National Convention. The party’s number one asset, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, will not even be there — and may not be in the United States, according to U.S. officials.
Sounds juicy! But three paragraphs down it turns out that this is routine. Cabinet officers never speak at party conventions.
Why then did the Post run this story?
