"Do you think a black man can be president?"
I was watching a commercial hyping up a Barbara Walters interview with Colin Powell. And that is the question she asked him.

They didn't let us hear his answer, but how is that any different than someone asking her "Do you think a Jewish woman can be a journalist?"

Not that I think she's a journalist, but lately, anybody can have that title.

1. Wow, what an insulting way to ask the question that I think she was trying
to ask.

She should have asked if he felt a black man could be a Republican and still have a soul.

2. A more appropriate question would have been:
How did Powell sleep at night knowing he was on the payroll of the Bush Crime Family and a willing tool of the most evil, corrupt administration in history?

3. That's gonna be her next question.
Right after she asks him if he gets uncomfortable when women breastfeed in public.

6. And don't forget the one about
what kind of tree he'd like to be. Barbara certainly covers all the bases in her hard-hitting celebrity smooch-fests.

4. Or, how does he live knowing the lies he told the UN have killed...
so many thousands of innocent people.

5. I think I heard . . .
. . . that CP promised his wife he would never run for president.

I don't know why.

7. She probably did not want him to become another puppet for the
fourth reich
