Colin Powell

Joe Biden's latest tourette's episode appears to have diluted the impact of Colin Powell's endorsement of The One.

There's been a lot of energy expended on the racial aspects of the endorsement, but I think that is ultimately unknowable by anybody but Powell. I think it's also beside the point.

I used to admire Colin Powell and thought him a rare honest broker in a capital filled with sleezy, self-serving cowards. Powell's conduct during the Valerie Plame fiasco showed that I was mistaken.

The endorsement of a dishonorable man isn't really of much value.
