General Powell's Friends
No, I will not question Secretary Powell's patriotism. But I am starting to worry about his taste.
The October Surprise endorser of Senator Obama will be speaking as a character witness for Senator Ted Stevens.
Anchorage Daily News:WASHINGTON - 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."
The General, like the Senator, has been in Washington too long.
