Colin Powell proud to be a Scot

WILLIAM LYONS AND JAMES REYNOLDS

FIRST it was Elvis, who it was claimed, hailed from the tiny Aberdeenshire village of Lonmay. Then last month legendary country and western singer Johnny Cash was shown to have descended from the family of an ancient Scots king.

Now one of the most powerful politicians in the world has joined the club. Colin Powell, the four-star general who led 28 nations to victory as the architect of operation Desert Storm in the first Gulf War, is laying a claim to Scottish ancestry.

The Scotsman has learned that the US Secretary of State has petitioned the Heraldry Society of Scotland for a coat of arms to mark his Scottish genealogy.

The coat of arms will contain symbols including the crest of the head of an American bald eagle, below an escrol with the motto "devoted to public service".

should have an ostrich in it, for all the times he hid his head in the sand when he should have stood up for himself and either bitchslapped Bush or resigned.

Oh well, could be worse I guess.

Powell is officially joining the ranks of the Crackers! I expect we'll be seeing him at the Highland Games now. Oh, this is rich with so much Southern cultural meaning.

...could it be the WMD???

The Clenis V. the ColonWMD!

but Samuel Jackson had style in a kilt...

On the other hand, I'd give a lot to see him in a kilt, just once!!

this. colin powell is a liar, a brave liar but a liar

uncle Colin

why isn't he claiming his african descent?

lots (if not all) americans are from 2 or more ethnic groups.
and feel free to trace their lineage back to the old country(s).
I believe he has often referred to his Jamaican lineage too.
I dont care for the man's worldview/politics but let's not
drag him down over this..

I am a Scot and I don't like Powell at all.

just asking.

Come on Colin, get yer head out of your, um..., past!

Good sir, why do you start, and seem to fear
Things that do sound so fair? I' the name of truth,
Are ye fantastical, or that indeed
Which outwardly ye show? My noble partner
You greet with present grace and great prediction
Of noble having and of royal hope,
That he seems rapt withal: to me you speak not.
If you can look into the seeds of time,
And say which grain will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear
Your favours nor your hate.

considering what he did to Haiti.
