As many of the beltway RINOs (who were considered conservatives) are blasting Palin with unabashed delight, I found that Colin Powell actually seems to like watching former Governor Sarah Palin, in which he adds in an interview on CNN that he thinks she is fascinating.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, he said, is a "fascinating figure ... you
have got to hand it to her." Palin transferred power to Gov. Sean Parnell on
Sunday.
He repeated his assessment that the former Republican vice presidential
candidate had not been ready for the Oval Office last fall, but said she was
worth watching.
"Apparently, she is going to re-enter public life ... . We will have to
see what her plans are," he said Tuesday. "I don't know if she is doing all of
this for political purposes or just to start a new life in the wonderful world
of speaking. And we will all be watching with great interest."
What is interesting in the interview is that Powell blasts Hillary Clinton saying she is typical, Rush Limbaugh saying that he is scaring the GOP, yet holds President Obama up as though he is the only man who has ever tried to "solve" any National problem. As I rolled my eyes at what most he had to say, I watched the interview very carefully on what he said about Sarah Palin. In my opinion, when he spoke of Sarah, even though you see he admires her gumption. It is as thought Powell doesn't see her going far.
The gotcha questions from CNN were interesting concerning North Korea, yet Powell seems to know about it more then most with this statement:
While North Korea may be "bizarre," he said, their negotiators are second to
none.
Powell is still dangerous, but he is watching Sarah Palin like a hawk. Don't underestimate this.
