How outrageous is this? Before the last comercial on Aaron Brown's show, he showed a younger Colin Powell in uniform, then showed Condi Rice at a Podium, and was talking about Powell quitting, and said wehn we come back, Next Up. But on the bottom of the scroll it said real big "SWAPPING SPOOKS". What in the world would make them use those words. How terribily insulting. I just can't believe this!

OHMIGOD! That's incredible, 20 year olds at the scroller controls again? This is going to be a kerfuffle, for sure. They aren't even spies! How are they going to "explain" this one?

I dunno. I suppose they figger there is "plausible deniability". But we all know - and they should - that the SOS is not in that sort of a role, at least under the light of day.

So they are either idiots or that was a racist comment. Either are good reasons to not watch CNN (as if we needed another).

So why were you watching it anyway?

Outrage is good but a link would have helped. I hardly go to CNN and can't find their shows.

I sure hope someone had the presence of mind to cache this before sending off a blitz of angry emails.

i heard the "swapping spooks" thing on the radio, as well...I don't know which network.

pretty audacious if it's a "joke," isn't it?

remember when the nice leftists, you know, the ones who scream and yell about "disenfranchised African Americans," referred to Ms. Rice as "brown sugar?"

I guess Politcal Correctness has outlived it's usefulness as a means of hypnotic control.

standards apply to everyone except leftists. the want to "moralize" everyone but themselves and, you know what? I'm totally over it. Screw 'em.

Isn't it amazing how liberals can be as racist & homophobic as they want but don't get called out for it (except on FR), but it's always the conservatives who are a bunch of unsophisticated hayseed hicks. It's ok for CNN to call Rice & Powell "spooks" but if Fox News did it the liberal media & the liberal talking heads would have a field day. Meanwhile, Carville goes on Meet the Press Sunday & calls gays "homos" & tells a terrible gay joke about McGreevey having a "man date"... the hypocrisy of the left is maddening.

Remember growing up in the Army, my dad had friends that were "spooks" ... later to learn they were CID. Neither Dr. Rice or General Powell are in the CID or CIA or any of the above. Bad cnn, bad cnn.

The liberals' talk about "tolerance" is just that -- talk. They are, in my extensive experience, exceptionally racist. What you saw on CNN is par for the course for them.

They're probably mad that so many blacks voted for Bush.

First, I never watch Aaron Brown, and the Clinton News Network. It was a great News Network that has gone down hill since the ending of the first Gulf War. They decided to get in the bed with the Democrats, and have become more and more leftist everyday. Of course they are in complete denial of their bias, and blame everything else for their ratings slump next to Fox News.

Second, this does not surprise me one bit. Aaron Brown is a condescending pig with not one ounce of fairness. Being non-bias is a foreign concept.

Third, if the show was reversed. For instance, Fox News had done this to say a Democratic controlled White House, then CNN and the rest of MSM would be screaming racism. Of course I am sure they would deny this. However, it does not take a rocket science to realize this.

CNN is a disgraceful name to responsible journalism. I just do not know why they pretend to not favors one party over another. This is why I almost never look at CNN. The last 10 years I have maybe watched 2 hours of CNN.

If no one caught this on tape or tivo, then it never happened.

I would think the opponents of CNN would have EVERYTHING cnn does on tape or tivo for the last several days, and since no one has come forward with a screenshot by now, it has
to go down as a right-wing rumor.

Was it yesterday that Schumer called Supreme Court Justice Thomas, judge Tom? A thinly disguise racist slur.

Actually, it's not a racial slam. It's referring to both of them being in the 'behind-the-scenes,' business! Even though Powell turned into a rabid globalist, he wasn't always one: Condi is and has always been an upright and "For America's Protection," person! They're just mad the once (believe it or not, he was!) fairly conservatively thinking person turned-intelligent (read that as 'their kind of guy, now) is being replaced by a true "America's Protection Comes First" person!!
