[RECOMMEND- SEE Full 2 minute video at site. Powell tells future}
In an interview with CNN- General Colin Powell said of Gov. Sarah Palin:
"Gov. Palin, to some extent, pushed the party more to the right, and I think she had something of a polarizing effect when she talked about how small town values are good. Well, most of us dont live in small towns. And I was raised in the South Bronx, and theres nothing wrong with my value system from the South Bronx."

I was born in the area and lived a mile south of Fordham until 1948. Lots of the Bronx was pretty then. I attended NYU at University Heights in the early 1960's, still mostly pleasant neighborhoods. Right after that it started going down hill fast, hitting the bottom in the early 90's. It has sort of leveled off since then, still in the pits.
I was at the McCain-Palin Rally in Fairfax County on September 11 and I don’t recall them saying that the southern part of Virginia was good and the northern part was bad. Colin Powell is not as bright or honest as his reputation makes him seem.
If you do say so yourself, you pro-abortion, socialist-endorsing, [deleted].
Didn’t read the book...but did hear about it...my colon and this colon are both full of the same material...nuff said!
Powell is a total waste of time, and always has been, as far as I’m concerned. He’s full of hot air, and something else as well. Whenever I see him on TV I change the channel always have, always will.
I think most of America would disagree with that assessment.
Colin Powell just lost the last shred of my respect. And to think I once looked up to that brainless clown.
Right on!

Powell reputedly had several chances to actually run for high level elected office; he demurred. No guts, no glory, Colon, Old Chap. You are such a has-been. Governor Palin has a political future; you prospered courtesy of the Repyblicans you are so gleefully backstabbing. Obama isn’t going to give you any job of consequence, and probably nobody else is interested in a big-time turncoat. Get used to it, the Peter Principle has struck again; you have reached your level of incompetence and have nothing to offer with respect to the content of your character. Stepinfetchit jobs may be available, however.
The only thing that I can relish in, is that I knew this guy was a POS from day one.
Colin continues his sycophantic campaign to butter up the Obama Administration in the hopes of getting a new job. Someone should tell him that train has already left the station. He just looks like an overreaching egotist at this point.
Yawnnnnnnnnnn.....go Sarah!!!
Please correct me if I am wrong. Wasn’t it mainly Powell’s decision not to go all the way to Bagdhad to get rid of Saddam in the first gulf war? If Saddam had been eliminated, Bush the 2nd’s Iraq war would never have happed.
“A chair.”
Oh come on man, colon’s just jockeyin to be nobamas porch monkey.
I see a few things wrong with your value system, turncoat.
