What was that you said about Obama, General Powell?

Delicious.

Powell was recently a "character witness" in the corruption trial of Alaska Senator Ted Stevens - as in a character witness for Stevens' "good character" (cough cough).

"He was a trusted individual whose word you could rely on," said Powell, also saying Stevens' word was "sterling".

"When you shook hands with Ted Stevens, it would benefit the nation in the long run." Powell said (well, it sure benefited those contractors and Stevens himself, with that nice little chalet. Perhaps Stevens was just doing what he could to stimulate the economy in his own little way).

The only problem was that less than 2 days later, after a mere 5 hours of deliberation, Stevens is convicted on all 7 felony charges of lying and for making false statements by failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts from Bill Allen, the former head of Veco Corp., and other friends.

Now we know what to do based on your endorsement of Barack Obama: do the exact opposite.

Powell looks more like a lame tool every day.
