Colin Powell croons in Indonesia
Just when you think that things can't get any stranger.
US Secretary of State Colin Powell performs a version of the Village People disco hit song 'YMCA' at the conclusion of Asia's largest security meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Friday July 2, 2004. Powell took to the stage, dressed as a construction worker Friday, [three points for the yellow hat] with other unidentified US diplomats to deliver their rendition of the 1970's hit song to an audience of Asia Security meeting delegates.

Even The Village People seem a little confused by this performance. Colin and The Guys are probably just refining their act, getting ready to entertain our troops in Iraq. Morale is waning as troops are expected to extend their tours of duty . After a steady diet of Rush Limbaugh , our boys will be hankering for a little live entertainment -- and who could do the job more effectively than our very own Secretary of State.
Photo note: This isn't my picture. This isn't my costume. Had it been, I would have kept the color andchosen a yarmulke to go with the song, which I have heard exclusively at bar mitvahs .
