2. He squandered all his credibility |

with the WMD crap. And to think how many of us would have voted for him.
Sad, really.

4. Jon Stewart isn't buying what he's selling though. |
|
Colin Powell forgetting to mention that Saddam was GIVEN a lot of the weapons he used on his people by the USA under the Repuke reign of Saint Ronnie and Poppy.
Asshole.

It looked to me like he was gently leading the General to the gallows. I can't wait to see it again to see if I still agree with myself.

I might guess that Jon was a bit surprised by Powell's utter and complete dissembling. When faced with that, well, what's he supposed to do?
I figure that Jon knew the scoop and went with the flow. After all, it is a "fake news" and "comedy" show.

You know what you got with Bolton. Its the sneaky liars like Powell with all his street cred that really do the damage.

:mad: How can Stewart have these assholes on his show? If he keeps having nothing but conservatives on I really don't give a damn about his show anymore. Now I can't even watch the Daily show without this shit and of course Stewart doesn't stand up to him or anything. :mad: Lets him spew his shit.

19. Having them on the show is OK - |
|
as long as Stewart calls them on stuff. He interviewed Powell as if the man deserved some sort of special treatment - he doesn't. Powell has ZERO integrity.

|
during the inauguration.
He's lost any street cred he had with me.
He doesn't even have a gay daughter.

18. They must be scared, they sent Colin to do damage control. |
|
Trying to head Kerry off. I hope he doesn't fall for it. Colin really is a smooth liar. I wish Jon had asked him about his trying to stop Bolton's nomination. I'd love to know that story. Bolton wouldn't be good for the UN, duh? Like you were Colin.

Edited on Wed Jun-08-05 10:40 PM by Julius Civitatus
him in the teeth.
It's truly surreal how servile Colin can be. Even in light of the disdain with which the Bush administration treated him, he still comes to their rescue when they ask him.
So here you have Colin Powell doing damage control on Jon Stewart's show, lying his ass off, telling us how bad Saddam was, once again. And to make matters worse, he had the disgraceful taste to blame the bad intelligence on Clinton.
Very sad. Very disgusting.

26. Did you see "Mars Attacks?"... |
|
...The late Paul Winfield did a great job playing a bootlicking, servile general who was clearly based on Powell. Had a good line where he was talking to his wife and proudly said something to the effect of, "See, I told you if I stayed in my place long enough good things would happen."

He lied smoothly and his PR team is top notch. Powell is nothing but a swarmy lackey of the Rethugs. His rise to power came with covering up Mai Lei (sp) Massacre.

27. He lost any respect I had for him |
|
He was inconsistent in his message. tried to downplay his blame for the war while still supporting it.
The "Saddam gassed his people" crap - I'm not sure I believe it. I suspect that Saddam was fighting an insurgency.

30. Does anyone have an contact info for the Daily Show. |
|
I can't find an email address or a feedback link on the Comedy Central web site, but I think it would be nice if we could email Jon and suggest that since he has allowed Colin Powell to come on and spin the usual line of Bush apologist bullshit, to be "fair and balanced" he should invite Karen Kwiatowski or Sibel Edmonds to be guests on The Daily Show as well, and let's all see how big his gonads really are.

Ret Lt Col. Karen Kwiatkowski would be great to counter the Powell spin. She worked in the Pentagon and has a LOT to say about it. Good speaker and very much brainpower.
