Grotesque.

Colin Powell projected a veneer of strength against our enemies.

And, to think Colin Powell, one of our highest military leaders would essentially endorse such a group of thugs is sickening.

I will not leave a long post about the self-serving comments from Powell but I will leave some dark humor on the situation.

[Liberal Larry]:

“Transformational, indeed! Saturday night, Powell was a still just a lapdog of the Bush Junta, a lying liar who lied about WMD’s in Iraq, and had blood on his hands for the millions of innocent Iraqis that Bush murdered so he could steal their oil. But on Monday morning, Powell crawled out of his bed a “man of courage”, a “true patriot”, and a “great American”. That’s quite a transformation. And all he had to do to cleanse himself of his past sins was declare his unconditional love for Obama.”

“When it comes right down to it, blind devotion is all Obama really asks of any of us. In return, he annointest us with hope, change, and free health care until our cup runneth over. Even DicKKK Halliburton Cheney, Rummy RumselKKKd, and KKKarl Rove can be absolved of their crimes – and cured of various maladies ranging from male-pattern baldness to racism – if they simply drop to their knees and declare fealty to our future President, Barack Obama. And he will be our president, as long as the superstitious, bible-clinging evangelical nutjobs of the GOP don’t get in his way.”
