Maybe he and Ashcroft can start a boy band.
I don't think he's a REAL Republican....lol....
HHe is definately of the Arlan Specter brand of Republican. He just got mixed up with the wrong crowd
He most definitely is a Republican.
I watched the footage this morning with my jaw dropped. I thought someone had drugged him a la Undercover Brother. Waiting for him to start hawking The Colonel's Fried Chicken... I kept waiting for someone to say, "That imposter REALLY does look like Colin, eh?"
What on earth possessed him?
See what too much Merlot can do to us, eh, LW? A cautionary tale.
Is this for real? What a hoot. If it's real, is there video?
I SAW IT! He sang, and danced. He shimmied! He rotated his hips. He flung his arms.
I would like to buy a tape of this. Someone is going to make a million in a couple of days.
wow.
what about that one where rumie sang the wind beneath my wings. I've tried to find it online and couldn't.
It's Fun for Powell at the 'YMCA'

JAKARTA, Indonesia - U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) donned a hard hat and tucked a hammer in his belt Friday, performing a version of the Village People's hit "YMCA" at the conclusion of Asia's largest security meeting.
Tradition dictates that the meeting wrap up with a night of song and dance, provided by the diplomats themselves.
In 1997 Madeleine Albright (news - web sites), then secretary of state, bowled over the ministers when she performed a musical skit dressed as Evita Peron.
On Friday, Powell danced alongside five other U.S. officials sporting costumes that included an Indian headdress.
The group blasted out a version of the 1970s disco classic, to the delight of foreign ministers from across the Asia-Pacific and Europe.
"President Bush (news - web sites), he said to me: 'Colin, I need you to run the Department of State. We are between a rock and a hard place," Powell and his colleagues sang to the tune of the disco classic.
The after-dinner show is an annual highlight of the ASEAN Regional Forum, a time for ministers to loosen up after discussing security issues.
The event is closed to the press, but reporters regularly go out of their way to get the scoop.
The Russian delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, sang a version of the Beatles "Yellow Submarine" as a woman waving a Russian flag ran around the dinner tables.
Indian Foreign Minister Natwar Singh read a poem before his delegation burst into a song.
"I'm not worried ?- but the audience should be," Singh said before attending the gala dinner.

Why did I never see Albright dressed as Peron? Ah well, he's a good sport.
AOL has been featuring a snippet of the performance--he's actually a great dancer.
CK has said it all . . . words fail me . . .
Thanks, Walter, that was a hoot . . .
Walter, thanks for the link!
Ah, c'mon! Everyone makes a fool of themselves at these things! It's tradition.
Stumble It!
