Colin Powell coming back for damage control on DSM

[spindoctor]

If anybody still had any doubts about who butters Mr. Powell's buns, he is back in the media to attack the Downing Street Memo.

As always, his alleged integrity is brought into the game when they need to dish out the best bullshit.

Sure, Powell has a conscience. He is very conscientious when it comes to covering up his master's mistakes.

1. Because the DSM certifies his guilt too n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

2. Yep

Of course. People had some respect for Powell and all that, so that's why they're bringing him around.

3. Bingo. Powell could wind up before the Hague, too, if it came to it.

But that's good. Let all of them scream from the highest rooftops that they are innocent. It will only make more people aware of the memo.

6. and make them resent being lied to

as so many cite Clinton's real offense the interview where he shook his finger, "I never had sex with that woman..."

However, those who attacked Clinton most vociferously have different standards (including for impeachment) for GOP liars. And the MSM scarcely touches the DSM, and they've adopted that lazy & complicit non-investigative attitude toward the White House.

Yes, Powell's denial makes it more likely that the flames of public awareness & accountability to catch. I thibnk it still needs something else. Impeachment?

4. I'd be willing to let Powell off the hook with immunity

if he would be willing to testify against everyone.

5. personally,

i like powell. i think he was the only voice of reason in the bush administration. but i also agree with you that he is nothing more than the bush family's lapdog. just imagine what he could do if he just grew some balls...

[gumby]

8. You are defining "reason"

as "A BushCo lapdog" ??????

[killbotfactory]

7. he's complicit

that's why he's shilling for bush

[DrDebug]

9. I'm sure that Powell will be very reliable

What is he going to do? Pack lies upon lies like the last time?

11. That's what he did

on the Daily Show last night. It was breathtaking.

10. I thought the same thing when I saw him on

the Daily Show last night. Interesting timing of his appearance on even that show.
