Colin Powell is a RINO............sorry...
con...................servative.. kinda sorta
Colin Powell being soft in his position as Secretary of State (I would submit that those calling him a RINO are not as correct as they'd like to think) on certain policy issues is simply an outgrowth of the job -- Secretary of State has to meet with rather odious dictators on a daily basis and tell everybody everything they want to hear. Who would you rather have, Colin, or Albrich the Troll Bridge, or Warren "I died a few years ago, but they keep rolling me to different countries" Christopher? :-)
But the debate over Powell being RINO is for another time; the point here is that an accomplished statesman and a positive icon for young black males is being skewered by a celebrity who spent HIS life being an Uncle Tom and now seems to wish to somehow ease personal inner demons by attacking a great man in a petty, vindictive, divisive, and STUPID attack.
