I guess a Republican's gotta do what a Republican's gotta do.

Gen. Colin Powell lent his star power to Sen. Ted Stevens's criminal trial Friday, praising the Republican for his “sterling” reputation and fierce advocacy of Alaska's interests.
“I never heard in all these years a single dissenting voice with respect to his integrity, with respect to his forthrightness,” said Powell, an Army general whose long career includes stints as secretary of state under President Bush, national security adviser for President Ronald Reagan and former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under President George H.W. Bush.

Colin Powell
is such a tool. Still, his support of Stevens was a little surprising to me. I thought he was hanging on by a single thread of ethic, when he didn't cosign Bush's claim that racism didn't exist. Then again, he did support blowing up civilians in pursuit of their oil, so I guess my surprise was just wishful thinking.
