Powell rips Cheney: ‘My head isn’t exploding and I haven’t noticed any other heads exploding’
The Daily Caller ^ | August 28, 2011 | Jeff Poor

Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s memoir is released on Tuesday and it promises to give a lot of behind the scenes insight into the Bush administration.

But is it too tabloid-y? That’s a complaint coming from former Secretary of State Colin Powell. In an appearance on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” on CBS, Powell had a lot to say about how Cheney has been promoting his book.

“My head isn’t exploding and I haven’t noticed any other heads exploding in Washington, D.C. and the explosive part of the book is when Mr. Cheney says is explosive,” Powell said.

I admit I started to read the original article but then lost interest because of Powell´s whining.

Colin “the shallow social climber” Powell also endorsed and voted for B.O., thereby evidencing his complete lack of ability to accurately discern character.

What he has to say about Cheney couldn’t be more irrelevant.

GO CHENEY! (My favorite member of the Bush administration).

Note to Colin: you actually have to have something inside your head for it to explode.

Powell was an Affirmative Action General! No doubt about it after observing him in action (Or inaction!) for 25 years!

This asshole pulled the plug on his own credibility long ago, by voting to harm his own country for the sake of racial crap. Who cares what he thinks now.

Powell has proven that he hasn’t the brains of a PFC. Lots of to-do for him making General - it’s akin to Obama making President - don’t no-how no-way belong there.

You are right. And Poppy listened to him, although his own grandiose delusions about the "New World Order" may have led him to the same conclusion.

Powell is a traitor and a racist for supporting bo. Anyone with an ounce of sense knew bo’s background and if they bothered to look at his voting record was fully aware when the corrupt old media started their campaign that bo was a useless and hateful anti-american commie.
