I never understood the high regard for Powell even before the 2000 coup. My first memory of him is his gross insubordination--as Joint Chief of Staff--to President Clinton over the issue of gays in the military.
Now, after his antics at the UN, and his stint as lapdog to the regime, I'm just dumbfounded that everyone continues to genuflect.
Well, at least I know I didn't imagine his crimes, thank gawd, because of this thread, and because of this photo, and because of Tom Morello's great anthem:

"It's in the dead man's pocket
It's in the child's first sin
It's in the Constitution
Written in very small print
It's in Colin Powell's lies
It's in the shaman's trance
It's in the cellar waiting
And it's in the best laid plans..."
