Varifrank: Further Proof that John McCain is a Maverick

Further Proof that John McCain is a Maverick

Fresh from testifying for his friend Senator Ted Stevens in Alaska, who is on trial for corruption, Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Endorses Obama. It seems that McCain chose someone Colin disapproves of for Vice President. Someone who is also from Alaska like his friend Ted Stevens, I think shes the Govenor up there. The name skips my mind at the moment.

It's good to see Colin finally get some good press again. They sure gave him a hard time back when he worked for Bush in the first term, you know back when he gave that big press conference on "Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq" and all that Yellowcake controversy. Ah, those were the days, back when a few Jedi mind tricks from Cheney and Rove could make a good man go and do silly things.

Hey, take one guess who it was that gave Secreatary of State Colin Powell a hard time when he was in the Senate Armed Services Committee?

John McCain.

There is something about "Payback" that might be appropriate to mention here. On the other hand, Powell should understand that being a turncoat doesnt mean you will get rehabilitated, it means that no one on either side will trust you anymore. On the third hand, Colin is 72, so I dont think he's looking for a seat in the cabinet. I think hes looking for a way to avoid long drawn out legal battles.

(Synopsis - Changes nothing, neans even less. Obama gets to tout "General Colin Powell, A Republican endorses me!" while overlooking the irony of who it is thats endorsing him. John McCain gets to point out "Whos the more Bush than Bush, Obama or McCain?" Colin Powell has long since passed his "Sell By" date, which was either 1992 or 2002, I cant remember which. Republicans dont like him, Democrats dont trust him. To the "Average Joe" this smells of political opportunism a barely veiled attempt at political rehabilitation. My own sense is he did it because he actually likes Obama, which tells you all you need to know about his political judgment. Summary - a Good General and a poor politician, Powell gets the Ephialtes Award for teamwork in this election. )
