The GOP drama is getting worse by the hour. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell smack down conservative talker and GOP leader Rush Limbaugh and Alaska’s part-time Governor Sarah Palin at an event before corporate executives last Monday.

Powell told the executives that the “Republican Party is in deep trouble." He added: "I think what Rush does as an entertainer diminishes the party and intrudes or inserts into our public life a kind of nastiness that we would be better to do without." Wow!

I give the general credit for speaking out against the radical rightwing extremists who have taken over the Republican Party. A handful of Republicans have spoken out against this treacherous party only to bow down and apologize to GOP god Limbaugh.

Limbaugh’s rhetoric, Powell says, is destroying the GOP’s image. He said Republicans need to move to the center if they want to survive as a party.

Of course, the GOP god Limbaugh was not happy with the criticism from Powell. The thin-skinned-no pun attended-Limbaugh blasted Powell by saying he‘s “just another liberal.” Limbaugh said Powell is better off with Democrats than the GOP.

It gets better! Powell attacked Palin and called her a “very polarizing figure.” He referred to the 2008 McCain/Palin disastrous campaign which the haters came out in force.

Dick Cheney now enters the ring. He smack down Powell by saying this about him: “If I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I'd go with Rush Limbaugh," Master Dick said. “I think my take on it was Colin had already left the party. I didn't know he was still a Republican." Ouch!

Here’s the big question: Will Colin Powell leave the GOP just like Sen. Arlene Specter? It’s obvious the GOP doesn’t want Powell in their party anymore. Odds are in favor of him leaving and joining either the Democrats or go Independent.

The way things are going at the GOP, it will die out just like the dinos.
