Real News Video with Pepe Escobar: Powell and Palin

Colin Powell endorses Obama; Sarah Palin tries comedy



"Elder statesman Colin Powell, a Republican, former head of the Joint Chiefs (under Bush father) and former Secretary of State (under George W. Bush) made a stunning announcement in Washington, endorsing Senator Barack Obama for President. He said one of the key reasons that prompted his choice was the selection of Sarah Palin by Senator John McCain as his running mate. Meanwhile, Palin herself took a break from the campaign not to conduct her first press conference, but to make an appearance on Saturday Night Live, where her world view was mercilessly mocked. Pepe Escobar agues that in a race where all the lines are blurred between what's real and what's fake, this is hyper reality gone mad."
