Powell won't serenade his peers at Asian meetingThe U.S. Secretary of State has finally found something that's above and beyond the call of duty. And it's a shame, really. I mean, what would his singing voice sound like? I must know! Would it put Vietnam Foreign Minister Nguyen Dy Nien's folk song to shame? Would he have a dusky, husky Barry White purr or a silky Harry Belafonte rasp?

Heh heh. I glanced at "Harry Belafonte" and thought it said "Halle Berry." It's funnier that way.

And he could just as easily sound like Urkel from "Family Matters".

Actually I'd like to hear his rendition of "Shake Senora"

"Secretary Powell, we'd like to hear your views on missile defense, but first, a number."

"You know, a musical number. You've got it in your blood, just let it out!"

If Colin bust out ala Flavor Flav, you'd have to resuscitate me.

"Yeeeeah, boyeee! I'm up in this muthafucka!"

"....... Mr. Powell?"

Personally I'd pay large sums of money to hear Colin get down on a little number by his cross native-island neighbour, Ricky Martin. Come on, Colin, shake yer bon-bon!
