[Reader-list] McCain says so what bhaiyya, I still have Kissinger

[Naeem Mohaiemen]

John McCain had a bakwaz morning. Colin Powell became highest ranking
Republican to break ranks and announce he would vote for Obama.

In response McCain said "four other former Secretary of States support me"

Who are the Fatta Four? Arre sala, bring it on
1. Henry Kissinger
2. James Baker
3. Lawrence Eagleburger
4. Alexander Haig


"There is a rather touching generational resonance in all this too -
it once seemed possible that Colin Powell himself would become the
first African-American President of the United States. He was born in
an America where it wouldn't have been possible for a black man -
however brilliant and inspiring - to reach the position in which
Barack Obama now finds himself."

"Los Angeles Times is also endorsing the Democrat, the first time the
west coast newspaper has backed any candidate since it went for
Richard Nixon back in 1972. Given how that particular recommendation
turned out you can see why the Times stayed out of the endorsement
business for 36 years."
