Before endorsing Obama, Powell testified for Ted Stevens
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says Alaska Senator Ted Stevens’ reputation for integrity and truth is “sterling.” The four-star general testified today as a character witness in Stevens’ federal trial. Alaska’s senior Senator faces seven felony counts of lying on his financial disclosure forms. (audio included)
Today, Stevens was found guilty on 7 counts
WASHINGTON – Ted Stevens a pillar of the Senate for 40 years and the face of Alaska politics almost since statehood, was convicted of a seven-felony string of corruption charges Monday – foung guilty of accepting a bonanza of home renovations and fancy trimmings from an oil executive and then lying about it.

Too funny that Powell was considerd a pariah by most of my fellow Dems just last year. Now, aparrently, all that “war stuff” is forgiven and he has great judgement. Very sad and frightening events are unfolding.

I have never been so disappointed in someone I thought was a good man as I have in Colin Powell. First, he participates in the charade to get us into war, gives a glowing report of the “sterling” character of Stephens and then endorses Obama. The man has no shame.
