Colin Powell phones Dick Cheney to let him know that they will not be serving sour grapes at the White House Correspondents’ Association gala dinner.
David L., San Francisco, CA
Don't worry Madam Secretary-if there's anyone who can get us into the new Star Trek movie, it's Colin.
Shoot the bastards – put them out of their OWN misery.
don't worry maddy. I just told colin I am really Dorian Grey.
"Yes Mr. Vice President, Is it you I talk to about switching parties?"
Wow, I had no idea Colin Powell was so short. Did you?
Timothy Geithner walk up to Madeleine Albright. Tim asks "Is Powell talking to Cheney?" Madeleine responds "Yeah, shoosh Cheney is compaining about Obamas dog. I guess he peed on his lawn"
Albright asks Geithner he did bring his listening device ? Geithner replies: "I'm not a republican"
Actually, Madeleine preferred the title "Administrative Professional of State".
I was just talking to Geithner and Albright about the future. Sell all our stocks, and were moving to Europe!
Want to join our office pool on how many jokes Mr. President is going to crack tonite ? He`s known doing them, you know...
Hey Maddie, stay away from Kevin Bacon. I hear he's coming down with the flu.
Really??? Cheney said that about me???? I thought he was btoo busy writing his book on interrogation techniques that are not torture to attack my party affiliation! I AM a Republican!!!!!!!Just not a neocon like him......
Hey, babe, I can't believe Geitner made the "Obama babe list." I mean, it's clear that he gets his hair permed.
Swartskoph ! It's Co-Pow ! Get down here fast ! They got the biggest open buffet you ever seen ! Oh yeah wear a few ribbons and medals, it'll get you a good seat.
C`mon Madeleine, you`re garanteed to steal the spotlight from Michelle if you`ll just show your arms.
And besides, it`s an IN thing to do these days.
Powell: “Seriously, Bill, did you have to invite Lewinsky? I mean, Hillary is RIGHT here!”
Man, I google "gala secretaries" and this is what I get?
No, really, are you sure you don't need me to come home?
Colin Powell fakes a call to get out of an incredibly boring conversation.
Thank God you called I almost had to talk to Geithner!
Powell: Aw, I have to come hone now? But the party is just getting started.
@Kevin from Portland, Oregon
That's funny.
Colin Powell is feeling a little small at the moment, as he talked with one a reporter about how former Vice President Dick Chaney's statement was misconstrued.
Hey, get me out of here. Albright is telling that story again about how she negotiated the peace deal in the Middle East between Moses and the Pharaoh.
Sell everything!!! I just overheard Timothy Geithner's plans for the economy!
Not totally buying into Geithner and Albright's plans, Powell places a call to Joan Rivers who is at the top of her game and definately knows how to get a 'lift' on things that are sagging!
Yes you can quote me. "I am still a Republican."
No. I`m telling you, I`m not at the Bingo hall right now.
I`m not that old yet !
That's the president on the phone warning Colin that he'll be next after Wanda finishes up with Rush.
Hey, I told you, Rush is not the boss of me.
Colin Powell receives the much talked about 3 AM call:
"Your automobile warranty is about to expire..."
Hey Rush! You were right. I've been talking to Albright and Geithner and I've decided that I really should become a Democrat.
Who do you think he is voting for in the Biggest looser
Mike or Ron
I understand that roasted Rush is on the menu tonight.
Madeleine, please tell Colin that he doesn't have to call in his Air Force buddies for an air strike on JPMorgan, Citi, or any other bank.
Hey, Colin–when you're done, we want to crank call John McCain. Madeline does a really mean Sarah Palin imitation!
Geithner to Albright Hey, Lets listen in
Colin Powell about to cast his vote for the worst citizen
of the United state
Powell- Rush Limbaugh!!!!!!
That's right, Miss CA and Perez Hilton are in a fist
fight. Get here quick!
No Mr. Cheney, I'm still a Republican, but don't push me.
Colin Powell takes a call : "Look, George, I don't KNOW why you weren't invited. "
Former Secretary of the State Colin Powell is dwarfed by former Secretary of the State Madeline Albright. as he talks on the phone with former Vice President Dick Cheney about his comment to the public about his allegiance to the former Republican Party.
"THAT'S POWELL, WITH TWO L'S. IF IT'S NOT HERE IN 30 MINUTES IT'S FREE, RIGHT?"
Although he is late by almost two weeks, Colin Powell puts out a frantic call to see if anything can still be done in celebration of 'Secretary's Week' while everyone is in the same room!
I gotta tell you George. Madeleine and Tim are talking about us behind my back
Hello, Speaker Pelosi...I'm interested in the Arlen Spector deal but I would like my senority intacted...what can you do for me?
Don't let them have Bo pee ony our leg and then they tell you its raining, to paraphase Judge Judy.
I know, I thought he was much taller too. But I heard he's lost a lot of stature since the Iraq invasion.
"Affirmative sweetheart. That's a gallon of milk, a block of cheddar, and one of the centerpieces."
Would I like to SWITCH parties?......Barack is that you?
Colin Powell calls around to find out who authorized this torture and demands the release of all documents.
This event is boring. Please send a limo for three and have it stocked with good movie videos.
