Bottom Line on Condi: She's A Horribly Incompetent Bureaucrat
"Systemic problems that we were addressing." Yeah. The house was on fire, but I was more worried about when I'm was going to fix the plumbing and re-do the wiring.

She's an idiot. If she's the best the mal-administration has to put forward to make their case, they ought to arrest themselves NOW and throw away the keys to the prison.

1. Hmm, the US Corporate Media said she did a "good job?"

Would CNN, ABC, NBC abd CBS really lie to us?

Our press is pathetic.

3. Fineman is taking her apart on O'Franken right now.
Edited on Thu Apr-08-04 12:32 PM by stopbush
"Her testimony was all too bureaucratic."

"It's clear they were unconcerned with DOMESTIC intelligence"

"What was bush doing in Crawford all that time AFTER he got THAT briefing"

"The frightening headline of that memo (ie: OBL determined to attack US)"

"I can't see anyway that Condi's testimony is helpful to the president"

If Fineman says you sucked, it won't be long before the TV guys pick it up.

6. FINEMAN ON O'FRANKEN IS VERY CRITICAL OF CONDI
Howard Fineman on the O'Franken factor is stating the obvious: that this "non warning" document that is entitled "Bin Laden plans to attack USA" will be scrutinized and in particular the date of the document. The prez was at his ranch clearing brush when this non-warning memo came out.

I hope Fineman runs a multipage article in next week's Newsweek about this.

2. that was my take, too. She has no concept of leadership
everything was "nobody told me to do this or that".

Huh?

"Why have principal meetings? Principals don't really do anything, their staffs do it all."

Uh, then Condi, WHY do you have this job AT ALL? What exactly is it that you DO DO?

4. Shes a national insecurity idiot
What a brainless bozo. She couldn't find her way to security if it
bit her on the ass. Her rigid states of mind couldn't defend a dog,
let alone the worlds largest economy.

They really should lock themselves up and throw away the key. We
have reduced the world to a surreal and idiotic simlicity that has
no basis in real reality, or in global security. She is
incompetent at best. Get her out, and her filthy president with
her. They should be nowhere near the reins of power.

5. Bush relies on her to filter up the news. She relies on her staff...
... to do the grunt work. Who do they then rely on? Temps?

Does ANYBODY work in this administration?

At least our leader is at the helm while the Iraq War is flaring up like never before and our soldiers are dying at a record clip, right?

RIGHT?!

7. Academic, not bureaucrat...
and that doesn't mean academics are all bad, but Rice is one who never actually held a responsible job before and has never actually had to answer for her words or actions. All thinktank theory and bullshit from an ideological standpoint.

Kind of like her boss, except he couldn't even do the academic work. Doubt he ever read any of Rice's Heritage Foundation screeds. Or would understand them without the pictures and speech bubbles.

8. If I'd said, anytime after 30 days, that I hadn't been on the job
long enough to solve something or prevent something, I'd have had my sorry a** fired. But then, that's in business. Apparently in *'s administration one gets unlimited "do-overs" or "Get Out of Jail Free" cards.
