ASPEN, Colo. -- Former Secretary of State Colin Powell was briefly hospitalized Friday after he fell ill at a restaurant where he was dining with former President Bill Clinton and others.

[wouldntbprudent]

Hmmm. Elsewhere in the article it says Powell was dining "with Clinton and other friends."

(Colin) Powell Falls Ill While Dining With Clinton

So would I.

[Just A Nobody]

I'm just going to hang around here and wait for the comments on the title. ;*)

[TSchmereL]

I am waiting for the punch line.

[Jemian]

That would do it for me, too.

Now why was Powell dining with him? I know, 'keep your friends close and your enemies even closer' but there is a limit.

[satchmodog9]

Who needs food as an excuse to puke after being with Clinton.

[Tall_Texan]

Yep. I'd at least need a Walgreens' worth of Zantac to get through the meal.

[wouldntbprudent]

I get sick just looking at the Slickmeister, much less dining with him. Yeckkkk.

[DarthVader]

He probably got indigestion and a severe case of the runs.

[Aussie Dasher]

Naturally - break bread with Bj, illness will follow quickly.

No news here! Keep moving, people!

[hoagy62]

How about this: Attempted Arkancide gone wrong?

[Always A Marine]

When you lie down with dogs, you get fleas...

[Sun]

Sorry Powell got sick, but there sure is a funny side.

[Clintonfatigued]

Considering the quality of the company, Powell's response was quite understandable.

[DainBramage]

Bill: "Colin I used to wash your cofee cup in the sink behind the oval office"

Colin: "(projectile vomit) blahhhhhhhhhh"

[TSchmereL]

Maybe Colin smoked one of Clinton's cigars.

[rudyard]

No date on this article. Clinton was at the World Cup Soccer Final in Berlin today (Sunday). Didn't look too concerned for Powell's welfare!

[ThomasThomas]

You would think a guy named colin might be able to put this off. Note to self add to list of things not to do.

[FormerACLUmember]

I once read a study with over 50 or so people who were murdered, suicides, or died under mysterious circumstances, all of them associated with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Do you know anyone personally who meets one of the these criteria? In other words have you ever personally known a single person murdered, etc.? MAYBE one person in your whole life. These are VERY rare events.

Powell should consider his two-timing dinner engagements more carefully. He should also consider himself very lucky.

[EGPWS]

Too much of the good life finally caught up with him....

[Clara Lou]

Hmm. I can sympathize with Colin. Dining with a Clinton would make me sick too.

"Former Secretary of State Colin Powell was briefly hospitalized Friday after he fell ill at a restaurant where he was dining with former President Bill Clinton and others."

The story should continue: "fortunately Colin Powell was not exposed to Hillary Clinton, which would have induced projectile vomiting on top of his wooziness caused by contact with Bill Clinton."

[lilylangtree]

Good Lord! Hildebeast and Bubba tried to knock off Colin? Wow! Brazen!

[Paleo Conservative]

Now why was Powell dining with him? I know, 'keep your friends close and your enemies even closer' but there is a limit.

But which are the friends and which are the enemies?

[MindBender26]

Article also described Powell as the "Chief strategist of the Gulf War."

He was not.

Schwartzkopf's staff was responsible.

Powell had the critically important job of keeping "Washington" in line, but the was not the Left Hook strategist.

[wouldntbprudent]

NOt to take anything away from Powell, but it's a fact that the LSM will go out of their way to lionize him so long as he might be or become useful to the Rats.

"Powell Falls Ill While Dining With Clinton"

Who wouldn't?

[Doctor Raoul]

Who could blame him...

[ErnBatavia]

By extension (pardon the pun) Powell now has some Clinton DNA coursing through his Jamaican veins...

[The Great RJ]

Good thing he wasn't dining with Hillary or he could have ended up under very strange circumstances dead in a park from "self inflicted" gun shot wound from an antique dueling pistol.

[NordP]

He's (Clinton) just sooooooo automatic when it comes to slippin' "things" in drinks, that....

[fedupjohn]

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell was briefly hospitalized Friday after he fell ill at a restaurant where he was dining with former President Bill Clinton.

I would also, if I had to have dinner with him.

[dk/coro]

Agreed, re Powell's role in Desert Storm, etc.

A close examination of this Affirmative Action Boy Wonder leads one to the unavoidable conclusion that he was a craven opportunist -- and at the right place at the right time, at the height of LBJ's full-court press on civil rights.

There were literally hundreds on men in uniform at the time that could have stepped into his shoes in a heart beat -- and probably done at least as professional piece of work as did Powell.

Of special significance is that Powell was not in one assignment long enough to reap the full impact of his decisions. In the Naval Service, such Commanding Officers (afloat) were called 9 Month Rape Artists. In many instances they would literally "burn an organization out" to make a name for themselves -- and be gone before they would reap the whirlwind -- the deleterious impact of their command decisions.

Suffice to say, I am not a fan of this cry-baby.

He was not.

If anyone read "It Doesn't Take a Hero"; you will understand that Colin Powell was not high on Schwartzkopf's list of Military Strategists.

OK kids....at which hospital did Kenneth Lay die?

On what day?

Treated by what doctor?

At which hospital was Powell treated?

What day?

By what doctor?

[Kozak]

So would I.

Right about when he offered the after dinner cigar....

[prophetic]

I once read a study with over 50 or so people who were murdered, suicides, or died under mysterious circumstances, all of them associated with Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Kinda reminds you of that Anti-Christ movie about the kid named Daimen does'nt it?

In the movie anyone that gets a clue about the kid (the antichrist) and what he's all about will be killed in strange and suspicius ways.

[AnAmericanMother]

[ThomasThomas]

.at which hospital did Kenneth Lay die?

On what day?

Aspen Valley Hospital, the same hospital where former Enron Chairman Kenneth Lay was

pronounced dead on Wednesday.

Well?

[Rembrandt]

I wonder if "other friends" included Belinda Stronach who would, of course, be seated next to Bubba.

(Colin) Powell Falls Ill While Dining With Clinton

Makes sense to me...Not that it would make a difference but, which Cliton was it?

[sweetliberty]

"...fell ill at a restaurant where he was dining with former President Bill Clinton"

That'd do it for me.

You'd think Colin Powell would be smart enough not to eat with a Clinton present.

[longtermmemmory]

RINO for dinner?

[razorbak]

Hmmm! I didn't know you could get the clap from casual contact.

[Frank_2001]

LOL!;)

[MindBender26]

It's kinda hard not to like Powell.

[MindBender26]

It's kinda hard not to like Powell.

Amplification: He is a very nice guy. Very polished. Middle of the road politically, which is very conservative anmong the black ocmmunity.

There two kinds of generals: Warfighters and Politicos.

Warfightwers: Schwartzkoph, Patton, Abrams, Rommel

Politicos: Powell, Marshal, Westmoreland, Model.

You need both to win a war. One wins the enemy. The other wins the war with your own politicians.

[wouldntbprudent]

I agree. I liked him.
