Colin Powell gives up last of dignity at Asian summit

[mburbank]

He dressed up as a construction worker and sang "YMCA". I'm not making this up. There are photographs.

see what happens when black guys hang around white people too much?

[AChimp]

He's almost... Canadian. :tear

[Stabby]

Does this mean the administration is changing its stance on gay marriage?

[FartinMowler]

"this" is american politics. :)

[ScruU2wice]

He thought the coast was clear since Farenheit 9/11 is already out :lol

He's almost... Canadian. :tear

I resent that. We dress up as the Dixie chicks

OK, so Ashcroft would be the policeman but I just don't see Dubya making a good indian.

Condi should have followed him with a rendition of Wild Cherry's"Play That Funky Music."

It's Asian tradition to sing a song at the closing of any type of government thing.

i gotta get my ass to China, then.

[Perndog]

Is this related to the clip of Boris Yelstin boogying down a few years ago?

[Pancakes]

well hopefully hes at least a good dancer -_-

[El Blanco]

Why? Cuz he's black? All black guys have soul and can therefor dance? Is that what you're saying, cracka?

Maybe you'd like it if he put on a top hat and white gloves and did a little shuffle for your entertainment.

Damn honkeys.

[Pancakes]

i thought he was white ;_;

[AChimp]

Fuck you, Pancakes.

[Jim Duncan - Weather]

I love how you're all "Fuck you, Pancakes!" and your avatar is all "http://members.shaw.ca/achimp/chimp.gif". It makes me laugh.

[AChimp]

It makes me smile to say that in real life, too.

"It's Asian tradition to sing a song at the closing of any type of government thing."

I'm well aware of that. That's why Madeline Albright gave up the last of HER dignity singing something from Evita. There are options.

It would be perfectly responsible to respond that it is part of OUR culture that is is undignified for the most powerful people in the world to clown, and at that clown badly.

Or, one could simply sing a song. I'm told there are many nice songs out there that don't require one to dress up as a construction worker and sing about the joys of meting annonymous men for sex at the YMCA.

One of the best things about the Village People was that they were somehow able to get straight people to enthiusiastically adress Gay promiscuity without ever knowing it. Does no one listen to the lyrics?

Young man, there's no need to feel down, I said
Young man, get yourself off the ground, I said
Young man, cause you're in a new town, there's no
NEED! TO! BE! UN! HAPPY!
Young man, there's a place you can go, I said
Young man, when you're short on your dough, you can
Stay there, and I'm sure you will find
MANY! WAYS! TO! HAVE! A! GOOD TIME!
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
They have everything, for your men to enjoy!
You can hang out with all the boys!
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
It's fun to stay at the YMCA
You can get yourself clean! You can have a good meal!
You can do whatever you feel!

Sounds pretty harmless to me. But then again, while I'm typing this there are multiple penises in my mouth.

Most of them are mine, though.
