Colin Powell to vote for greedy candidate whose husband is still probably "d*cking bimbos"

(CNN) Former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell said Tuesday he'll vote for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, a high-profile snub of his party's standard-bearer, Donald Trump.

His party? As I recall, he voted for Barack Obama twice.

Powell, who also served in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, backed President Barack Obama in both the 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

Ask, and ye shall be answered. ;-)

He announced his plan to a Long Island group during a luncheon. The announcement was confirmed by Powell's chief of staff, Peggy Cifrino.

He's retired, I thought. Why on earth does he need a staff with a chief to boss it?

Aides informed Clinton of Powell's support after her early voting rally Tuesday afternoon in Florida. She is grateful for his support, one aide said.

Later, Clinton's campaign tweeted, "Proud to have the endorsement of General Powell, a decorated soldier and distinguished statesman," signed with an "H" indicating her personal approval.

I'll believe it when WikiLeaks releases it.

#1 Sadly, General Colin Powell was a role model whom I once held in high regard. He has broken his oath to the Constitution, which limits government intrusion and invasion into the lives of American citizens. Therefore, I can no longer view him as the honorable man I wanted to emulate. Lt. Colonel Allen West, December 13, 2013

#2 I wonder how much HC paid for Powell's endorsement?

#4 First became aware of Powell during Gulf War 1. Saw him as a bureaucrat and little more. Lost respect when he voted for 'O' in '08 (amongst other things).

Was impressed then by Gen. Schwarzkopf and really took him to heart when he asked a stupid reporter, who was commenting on the seeming lack of Iraqi strategic defenses with the drive into Kuwait, "Ever been in a mine field?"

His passing in 2012 was a great loss.

#5 Remember when he lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Good times.
