MoDo's latest - Is Condi Gaslighting Rummy?
<http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/09/opinion/09DOWD.html>



<snip> It was the first time the chesty defense czar — who had tried to freeze out the softies at State, which the Pentagon sneeringly refers to as "the Department of Nice" — had been downgraded by the president and outmaneuvered by a colleague.

"And because he is a cantankerous egomaniac," one longtime Rummy watcher said, "he compounded his own problems by acknowledging it in public, further undermining his own stature."

President Bush clearly realizes that Mr. Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz have gotten him into a fine mess. He wants his trusted Mother Hen, as he calls Condi, the woman who probably spends as much time with him as Laura — weekends at Camp David, vacations at the ranch, workouts at the gym — to make it all better. This will be the first time Ms. Rice, a Soviet expert who has functioned mostly so far as First Chum, will have her reputation on the line.






bush* is expecting his "Mother Hen" to pull his ass out of the frying pan called Iraq. It ain't gonna happen! LOL

1. You know
I am beginning to question the relationship between chimpy and mother hen. Anyone else? They spend way too much time together IMHO.

2. Did not care at all for this column
She--like others--gives Condi way too much credit--they act as if this bitch has a brain!

Why does she still have a job after 9-11??????????????

10. I'm with you there.....
I think Condi is WAAAAAAAY overrated. She is like some talking textbook who knows nothing about the real world. And she doesn't even do a good job of lying. The last time I saw her on MTP it was so obvious she was lying.

5. I think that the bush*/Condi relationship is very strange. Is she like
his 2nd mother or maybe even 2nd wife?? Why do they spend so much time together??

6. The disgusting thing is that even when these idiots lose thier jobs
in 2004--they'll be hired to some lucratives positions in 2005.

Life sucks.
