Unease in the Conservative Commentariat

Funny how these great "patriots" are the best of men when they're shoveling the poop, and when they stop and say what's on their minds, and consciences, then they're "un-American."

True, but plenty of liberals thought Powell was "disgraceful" when he was serving in the Bush Administration (and probably even before that), but are applauding him how for endorsing Obama. So that sort of mentality exists on both sides.

My opinion of Colin Powell hasn't changed. He was an honorable man before and he's an honorable man now. I disagree with his presidential endorsement, but respect his opinion.

And, no, I don't think race has anything to do with it, although I suspect his shabby treatment at the hands of Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. may have played a role - and understandably so. I thought the Bush Administration made a huge mistake by alienating a great American hero like Gen. Powell.

I'm sad that this wasn't updated to cover this election, but... for those of you who missed it last time, or just want to relive a fun and informative game - here's Bushgame!

Oh, by the way - bringing this all back home to comics - if you want to read a great political story that involves the type of voter fraud that has been committed the last two elections - check out the brilliant Birth of a Nation - written by Aaron McGruder (the Boondocks) and Reginald Hudlin and illustrated by Kyle Baker.

It's an amazing and awesome read.
