Who Would Want Colin Powell’s Endorsement?
October 21, 2008
As a libertarian, I of course have no dog in the fight between McCain and Obama. But since the Democrats and the Left in general are all atwitter over Powell’s endorsement, it’s time to make a few serious observations.
First of all, Colin Powell is almost the perfect embodiment of what is lacking in the American political character. He is a career apparatchik who has risen through the ranks of the military, and then on to Secretary of State, by pretty much being a toady, a consummate courtier.
