October 19th, 2008 'A day that will live in racist infamy'!!

Ole Pecoz sat at his kitchen table this morning and watched Colin Powell (Former General - Former Statesman, Former Admired American) shuffle and dance his way over to Obamantion's corner in this upcoming election. Oh, he mouthed all the right platitudes, he 'agonized', he 'examined' but shucks - he just had to come out for Obama.

After all "the Republican Party has just moved too far right" for him! This lowly Army Colonel that rose to 4 stars in political (not command) promotions in just ten years under conservative Republican administrations - this advisor to President's Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. Hell, his bio is at:


I don't need to repeat it here --- It never occurred to him to endorse Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michale Dukakis, Bubba Clinton, Al Gore, or John Kerry during all those very conservative years of the Republican Party ---- but now -- with John McCain. the most centrist Republican seeking the office of President in thirty years, now all of a sudden he has had an epiphany and 'must' support Obamanation........ !!! And to add insult to injury, adds as one of his reasons, McCain picked a mere woman Governor to be his Veep!

Racist, sexist, misogynist and several other mean spirited phrases that I won't share here come to mind --- and he finished his unsolicited soul bearing with that paragon of unbiased reporting , Tom Brokaw, with a serious frown and opining that he 'sure hopes voters don't take race into consideration when they go into the voting booth!"

Give me a break!!!!!!!!!! What a sorry final chapter to a storied career!
He could have at least had the cajones to sit there and say, "I never thought I'd get to see a black president in my lifetime - here is my one shot - and I'm gonna help him all I can!" But he didn't even have the courage to say that.
