Hopefully, not a single person goes to see that RINO-P.O.S.

I lost all respect for Powell when Powell endorsed Obama in 2008 basically sight unseen and because Obama was black.

If Powell admitted the truth, he would admit that Obama would probably not have passed a background check to work for Powell when Powell was a general and then Secretary of State.

For instance, Obama could have never passed the background check if he applied to work for Secretary of State Powell, because there is no way that Obama's "birth certificate" would have passed a detailed examination by the FBI, and Powell knows it.

is this about affirmative action?

I wouldn't walk across the street to see Colin Bowel if he were giving the books away.

I used to have some respect for him before he became just another race hustler who rode the escalator of affirmative action up to where he could look down on the rest of us.

No Thanks, Colon.

How many tickets have been given out? More than 100 tickets had been given up by Wednesday afternoon.

Just for contrast, Sarah Palin's book signing exhausted all 1000 tickets availble within the first 90 minutes of her visit to nearby Washington, Pennsylvania.

Just to contrast market sizes:

1. McLean, VA is near center of Washington, DC metro area, population 5.6 million.
   
2. Washington, PA is on southwestern edge of Pittsburgh, PA metro area, population 2.4 million.

6) Ask the general why he allowed Scooter Libby to twist in the wind when he knew damn well Richard Armitage was the leaker in the Plame Affair?

Me, too. Well, almost all respect. Interesting to see what he does this time.

Sounds like a good opportunity for some spontaneous protestors.

Is he going to vote his color again next election?

[shalom aleichem]

Bowel was and is not distinguished. He was carried along due to his race and the fact that he is a suck-up. His patrons thought he was a (loyal) Republican. His whole life is affirmative action. He did nto attend West Point but was college ROTC. He became a coddled perfumed prince. Norman Schwartzkoff handled the heavy lifting in the Gulf War. Bowel is a full-fledged Liberal. For O, for Gays in Military, for Gay Marriage, probably pro-abortion. Just sickening how we carry a guy like this along and then they stab you in the back. Such treachery. His karma quotient is not looking good.

I am an avid reader of political books. I would rather poke my eye out with a sharp stick than buy a book by this total sell-out.

[ZULU]

Colon Powell. Aptly named.

[PghBaldy]

That right there shows why he is of low character.

I'm guessing it's not going to be a NYT best seller.

For instance, Obama could have never passed the background check if he applied to work for Secretary of State Powell, because there is no way that Obama's "birth certificate" would have passed a detailed examination by the FBI, and Powell knows it.

If Obama had been just another federal job applicant seeking a security clearance, he'd have gotten a Statement of Reasons (for denial of the request) faster than you can say "Choom."

[ScottinVA]

Me, too. Well, almost all respect. Interesting to see what he does this time.

He'll be in the bag for Obama, if/when it becomes clear he's winning... just like 2008. Waiting for the prevailing political winds to take shape... there's the hallmark of a great leader.

Go away, Powell... your time is up.
