The Younger Powell Still Has His Tongue firmly inside McCain's ass.
There's someone else who might have been hurt by uber-Republican Colin Powell's promise to vote for Barack Obama in two weeks.
Apparently, according to The Hill, Powell's son, the most god-awful FCC chairman in that body's history, Michael Powell, is a huge McCain fan;
(Michael Powell) endorsed McCain early in the Republican primary in January, and said the Arizona senator was the best candidate to “calm the turbulent economic waters and to steer the new economy in a direction that will bring growth, opportunity and prosperity to all Americans.”
Powell contributed $1,000 to McCain the day of the Iowa caucuses and another $1,000 before the Florida primary. In August, he defended McCain, who had said he rarely uses the Internet, as someone who “understands technology very well” from his time as chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Technology.
Now, you would think Michael Powell might want to follow in his father's footsteps, which are mostly honorable, save that awful performance at the UN a few years back, in which he held up a vial of Tide and told everyone it was anthrax. But you would be wrong. Colin Powell's spawn has shown himself to be a right wing tool of the highest order. Not only has he previously worked as a policy adviser for Darth Cheney, and supported the Bushies on damn near everything, as FCC Chairman, he looked the other way as media companies consolidated and ruined media, and as Fox News lied about being a news organization, at the same time he declared Janet Jackson's right tit to be "public enemy number one" and increased fines for "obscenity" (is a woman's breast really "obscene?"), just so he could hit Viacom as hard as possible for it.
And if you think I'm just being partisan, consider this passage from the same article:
The younger Powell, however, who still has much of his career in front of him, has lined up solidly behind McCain. If McCain becomes president he could appoint Powell to several administration positions.
Typical Republican. Screw the country, as long as he can keep his mouth on the public teat.
I thought these people were against welfare...
