Colin Powell defies logic, the evidence and common sense: Claims he's a Republican

Look, if Colin Powell wants to say he’s a Republican, fine. He can do that. But what’s the point?

Powell’s, “oh yes I am” argument that he’s a Republican seems silly to me. It’s like interviewing a guy in the University Michigan’s Big House claiming to be an Ohio State fan. He has on his big blue M sweat shirt, his big blue M visor and even shorts and sunglasses with U of M logo. His flip flops have U of M on top and OSU on the soles. But sure if he wants to claim he’s Buckeye fan, go ahead. He just looks like a moron doing so.

Then when interviewed it sounds like this:

REPORTER: So you’re Buckeye fan?

DOPE: Sure, I’m the biggest Buckeye fan ever.

REPORTER: What’s with all of the U of M stuff then?

DOPE: Ohio State’s becoming too shrill these days. So I’m hanging out with Michigan fans.

REPORTER: Did you root for Michigan to win last year’s game?

DOPE: Sure I did. Had to.

REPORTER: What should OSU do to get back into your good graces?

DOPE: Well first, fire Tressell. He’s been beating Michigan like a drum for almost a decade now. Then yank that Terrell Pryor kid’s scholarship. Next change the school colors from scarlet and grey to pink and purple. Last, that script Ohio thing has to go. If OSU would just make those minor changes and reach out for a big tent of Buckeye fans, they could get me and so many others like me back.

Well who cares if this dope says he’s a Buckeye fan or Colin Powell says he’s a Republican? Why should anyone at OSU listen to this dope or anyone at the RNC listen to Colin Powell? Powell endorsed the Dear Leader against Powell’s “old friend” McCain. What else do Republicans need to know?

And it’s not as if the Republicans were running some rabid right winger like…well like Lex. They ran -- let me reach across aisle and stab my Republican friends in the back McCain for crying out loud.

So if you’re some squishy moderate who wants the Republican Party to “just get along” with Democrats how could you do any better than McCain? If not McCain who?

And if you’re the Republican Party that couldn’t get Powell’s vote with a candidate like McCain, why would they want his vote in the first place?
