Guess he had enough of being so influential

Surprise!
— U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has submitted his resignation, a senior administration official tells CNN.
Added: Some of Colin’s greatest hits:
My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence. Numerous human sources tell us that the Iraqis are moving not just documents and hard drives, but weapons of mass destruction, to keep them from being found by inspectors. Most of the launchers and warheads had been hidden in large groves of palm trees and were to be moved every one to four weeks to escape detection. We also have satellite photos that indicate that banned materials have recently been moved from a number of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction facilities. Let me say a word about satellite images before I show a couple. The photos that I am about to show you are sometimes hard for the average person to interpret, hard for me. The painstaking work of photo analysis takes experts with years and years of experience, poring for hours and hours over light tables. The four that are in red squares represent active chemical munitions bunkers.
How painful was it, Colin, when they removed your sense of shame?
I am frightened. Who will interpret all of those spy satellite images of WMDs for us now?
“If my remaining self-respect could be quantified, it’d fit into this little crack vial.”

Oh no! Now we’re probably going to get the First Chum, Condi Rice, starring as the School Marm of State, with her crisply collated, color-coded highlighted, and precision-stapled theme papers on topics of absolutely no relevance to the current world situation. And she’s a bitch about tardiness, too.
Am I the only one who remembers how adamant the right whingers were that Powell was not in any way going to resign if Bush won re-election when the rumours of him doing so were circulating in early 03?
Well, now he is free to roll in the dollars with high speaking fees. His image rehab has just begun. I won’t expect him to be truthful, however. That would be in violation of his only working inner moral code —tell not on or about the man in power and jeopardize the dollar situation.

I will feel much safer when she no longer is in charge of anything that conatins the word ‘Security’.
As far as Scretary of Sate goes, hire “The Lox” . (Singing in their best imitation of Cheney)
If your hoped we wouldn’t make it, fuck you (fuck you)
Talk with a heart full of hatred, fuck you (fuck you)
And you said we wouldn’t cake it, fuck you (fuck you)
Only my man blood is sacred, cocksucker, fuck you
Condi choice confirmed. Beware. You know too much.
And there he goes, doing “Y.M.C.A.” into the sunset…
Condi as Secretary of State?
You people really are saying “fuck you” to the rest of the world, ain’t you?
It’s not like we have control over these mistakes of Nature.
And to think these shitbags told us that it was a bad idea to change horses in midstream. It’s EXACTLY what they’re doing right now!
If only someone had slipped abortifacients into their mothers’ drinks…
You people really are saying “fuck you” to the rest of the world, ain’t you?
Hey! what’s this “you people”?
If I had my way this entire crew would be rotting in jail.
Very funny, the only thing Co-Lying Powell can say in his defense is, “No, sir, I did not have sex with those satellite photos.”
And no-one believed a word he said.
