This is a side of former Secretary Powell we rarely get to see- I can not remember seeing him doing anything musical since he sang at the ASEAN summit in Indonesia five years ago in October of 2003-

Dan you obviously only see Powell as a black man and not as the journalist is pointing out a politician with a few good dance moves.

Colin Powell brought shame on us all by allowing himself to be used by Bush and never repudiating the evil of what he did.

Dan, you are joking right?

So Mr Powell showed "natural rhythm" eh? I'm surprised you didn't add that he has "rubbery lips"

Journalists should be warned that cheap cliches can easily be understood as racist stereotypes.

History will recall Colin Powell as a good man who, through some fault of his own, was cynically used by the Dick Cheney and his operatives to vouch for WMD which did not exist.

He now again has a choice to make history -- by supporting Barack Obama against the tired old warmongering crap in D.C.

Lovely human story. We are African, I am Indian, We are Irish, Romanian and my son married a canadian with roots from Macedonia/Romania so we kiss each other, marry each other and we become colour blind as we say in South frica or Jesse Jackson's rainbow society. It will improve in time .
