Colin “Great Judge Of Character” Powell Testified In Favor Of Senator Stevens

Remember when Colin Powell announced that he was endorsing Barack Obama for President and the left was gushing about what a “great judge of character” Powell is? Not only is that laughable given that these same people on the left were calling Powell an “Uncle Tom” when he was working for the Bush administration, but also because Powell testified in favor of Senator Ted Stevens during his corruption trial in Alaska.

One of the nation’s best-known retired Army generals, Colin Powell, described Sen. Ted Stevens in court today as a “trusted individual” and a man with a “sterling” reputation.
“He was someone whose word you could rely on,” said Powell, secretary of state in President Bush’s first term, who self-deprecatingly described himself as someone who retired as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then “dabbled a bit in diplomacy.”

Great judge of character.
Yeah. Right.

    Colin Powell. Has he been right on anything since he left the military?

    Rob attempts to slander Colin Powell in an attempt to bring down Obama, the only problem with Rob’s partisan attack is it is off target, and off point, as always.

    Colin Powell, described Sen. Ted Stevens in court today as a “trusted individual” and a man with a “sterling” reputation.

    “He was someone whose word you could rely on,”

    He was a character reference. Do you disagree that Ted was a “trusted individual and that he had a sterling reputation before he was found guilt of accepting gifts?

    You can be trusted and have a sterling reputation before you screw it up you know.

    Logic isn’t your strong suit Rob.

    I don’t know they called him the reluctant warrior.

    Goon, realitybased Bob & Whistler,
    Colin Powell served the Bush administration as was expected of him. He was a good soldier who did his best to carry out the mission he was assigned, even though he disagreed with it.
    He was a warrior who refused to commit soldiers to battle without a clear objective and well planned strategy (Goon). Since when did Powell become an expert in personal character?

    Hanny,

    I have just got to know, are you and David Axelrod involved in a relationship? I know you love BO, but you act like you are personally involved. Inquiring minds want to know!

    Well well, my liberal “Friend“..
    Leave it to you to try making some Boneheaded defense of Uncle Colin.
    No wonder Uncle Colin never said much. Suddenly, he likes the taste of his “Feet“..

    He certainly wasn’t right when he went to the UN with comic book pictures of boxcars and a vile of baking soda claiming Saddam was a threat to the US.

    Swarzkopf was the one who got screwed. He was the true warrior, but he got no real recognition. Powell got it. That is like a reverse racism.
