OR,
You wrote,[...a joke about Colin powell...].
You have brought up a good concept called the [public figure] concept. In the United states, it has been recognised from the conception of our country that people that are deemed to be a[public figure], are classified differently than those that are not. You will see plenty of parody and jokes about Goerge W. Bush and Tony Blair in the newspapers and they accept it as part of being a public figure.
Thanks,
