Colin Powell is DIFFERENT today..not nervous like before....WHY????

[glarius]

This is an entirely different Colin Powell than we saw nervously trying to be persuasive....Why is he soooo smooth and confident today?....I wonder what is up?

[prolesunited]

1. They've

medicated him. :shrug:

[AnnabelLee]

2. Maybe he's been borrowing

from *'s medicine cabinet.:evilgrin:

[glarius]

3. He is just soooo glib and

comes up with his answers so effortlessly...I don't get it...Last time I saw him in a news conference he was stumbling all over himself!

[Cocoa]

4. my guess....

he's one of the few people in the adm. that did NOT use the uranium lie. His UN presentation was around the time of the SOTU and Rummy's speech. So his relative credibility/judgement is lifted by this scandal.

Anyway, he's generally a pretty cool character.

[glarius]

5. It just makes me wonder if he knows they have an "out" that we don't

know about yet.

[karlschneider]

7. Or maybe that HE has an out. Like, getting ready to

"spend more time with the family..."
:eyes:

[okieinpain]

12. maybe now he can tell rummy, and rove to shut the fuck up.

not that * is being call on his bullshit SOTU speech. has a president ever been called to question for lying in his SOTU speech, I know they don't keep their promises, but lie about a reason to goto war.

....the shit has hit the fan

[Kahuna]

8. LOL, Mopaul! You should be

ashamed of yourself. :P

Your enhancement to the Question W. picture is priceless.

[rocktivity]

9. When I first posted this pic

A couple of people accused me of trying to perpetrate a MoPaul ripoff!

10. Lordy

that pic is ripe for a chimpanzee side-by-side!:D

[PurityOfEssence]

11. only 'til the first Nigeranium question, then he was scared shitless

Suddenly he kept looking up and to the right, shifting around, bobbing about and getting a jitteriness to his cadence. His microphone kept getting hits from the movement and the CNN camera operator had to work to frame him.

At the beginning, he was polished, then he fell apart.

"overwrought, overblown and overdrawn"...what, is he talking about our country?

What kind of an excuse is the "...and then after that, when we REALLY started to look at it..." Is he saying it's okay to say things in the SOUA that could spark major wars without really researching them?

Nice suit, naziface. Say, does a suit like that come with two pairs of pants? Somebody hit that man's heiney with a seltzer bottle afore he goes up in flames.

[comradebillyboy]

13. i think he has finished setting rummy up for a fall

watching the inner-party struggle between the military commissar and the diplomatic commissar and the dick is the best part of the shrub admin.

to use an old army term, i think powell is about to put rummy's ass in a sling. i am not quite old enough to understand the origin of the term, but it sounds good. may be wishful thinking.

or better he may have arranged for the cia to screw rummy.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

14. His son's vote on the FCC means Powell gets good press

He won't be going down with the rest of them. Since his son Michael Powell voted to allow the media corporations to become monopolies, they'll pay him back by posing Powell as the "voice of reason" in the administration.

Our first black president, a moderate Republican. Who'da thunk it?

[corarose]

15. Downers, pills, drugs, etc. He needs them now he is going down.

:kick:

[ilpostino]

16. Sniff...sniff

Do I smell a rose? I think he's going to come out of this smelling just like one because he knows (a) he was the one insider who was raising objections all along (b) his tormentors in the Rummy camp are going to get theirs (c) he gets to play the good soldier, his favorite role, all the way to beatification.

[Nay]

17. Well, I'd be willing to let one of these bastards be the snitch, as

long as the rest of them go to jail for a while. I can dream, can't I?? I hope he is cool and collected because he has the goods on his fellow WH denizens.
