Say whatever.... the man has a set of brass ones....

The National Journal reports that that poster boy for closet racist, retarded General Powell, is now offering rhetorical political advice to the political party he back stabbed last year. Oh, excuse me, it's not 'racist' when Blacks do it, is it?

Powell Says Shrinking GOP Should Return To The Center
May 5, 2009
by Chris Strohm

The Republican Party is in big trouble and needs to find a way to move back to the middle of the country, former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Monday.

Powell said the GOP is "getting smaller and smaller" and "that's not good for the nation." He also said he hopes that emerging GOP leaders, such as House Minority Whip Cantor, will not keep repeating mantras of the far right.

"The Republican Party is in deep trouble," Powell told corporate security executives at a conference in Washington sponsored by Fortify Software Inc. The party must realize that the country has changed, he said. "Americans do want to pay taxes for services," he said. "Americans are looking for more government in their life, not less."

Here is a guy who rode the tide of affirmative action to the highest tier, rode the waves of the Republican Party to four stars and secretary of state..... probably would have retired as one of thousands of disgruntled lieutenant colonels without them..... and now offers unsolicited advice.

If we were having a conversation, my first question would be; "When were the Republicans in the center?" and then "When the Republicans stick to their conservative base, they win landslide elections -- is that why you'd like to see them in the muddled middle?"

My last question would be; "Do you keep your eyes open when you stand in front of a mirror and shave in the morning?"
