Former President George W. Bush on Monday said he is “deeply saddened” by the death of his first Secretary of State Colin Powell, calling the former diplomat and military leader "a great public servant.”
“Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of Colin Powell. He was a great public servant, starting with his time as a soldier during Vietnam,” Bush said in a statement issued shortly after Powell's family announced his death on Monday morning.
Powell’s family issued a statement saying that the former Secretary of State and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had died at the age of 84 due to COVID-19 complications.

I’m “deeply saddened” that I once supported Shrub. He was the better than the alternative at the time.

I confess. It’s my fault. I didn’t take the jab, so Powell got COVID and died. I was never within 500 miles of him, but that’s beside the point. I also went to bed without my mask one night. I’m sure that had something to do with it.

Good reply.
I’m sorry for his death. No huge skin off my nose, for sure, but it’s not like he was Hitler. He was partially on our side.

LOL I like it.
We should adopt that line for every person that dies allegedly of COVID.

Even as a senior 4 star and later, he couldn’t get rid of that race card crutch he kept in his quick draw holster.

Sadly, we are all too often given the option of Dumb and Dumber....
The false choice of the two party system.

Scooter Libby should have been pardoned by W. but I do not think that Scooter ever got pardoned by this "idiot POTUS".

My father was darker than he, and dad was all north German.
Of course, we have a dear oral-surgeon friend who is “black” - but at a glance you’d not know it. You have to look harder to see features.
I won’t count another dear friend, genuinely African, teacher alongside my mom when she worked, who is albino.
