And may have slipped when she allowed as how Shrub decided to go to war in March 2002 (I believe). Need to check the transcript later.
She's making brutally clear that Powell is a token.

The underlying point is that Franks was the commander of an entire region.

that was diverted from Afghanistan. Bob S. to his credit just pointed out that this is against the law. Condi is claiming that Franks had the power to divert the resources since he was the commander of the whole region. Total BS.

. . . You're cracking me up. First with "This performance is called "out over your skiis"."
And next with "pervert". I'm so glad you caught that. So did I and I was wondering if I was the only one. It will be excised from the transcript. Someone (Wonk) needs to make a video.

44. We just rewatched on our DVR (Tivo like cable box) |
|
That thing RULES!
The "out over the skiis" line actually came from a quote attributed to a "White House source" about something Powell said over a year ago. It was on MSNBC's website and was very quickly scrubbed as many DU'er caught. I can't remember what Powell said or what it was about but I loved that saying.
The "pervert" thing was funny. FCC violation? How about W mentioning "rape rooms" many times during the "family hour" on TV?

She admitted it. Just so we're clear - Afghanistan is in southeast Asia, not the middle east.

30. I dunno. I sense a little racism here. |
|
We finally get an intelligent woman of color into a very high position, then we totally trash her because her ideology doesn't match our ideal. Do we REALLY want blacks and women to rise to the top or do they have to be the 'right' black or the 'right' woman? Or do we truly care if a black or woman succeeds at all?

It's precisely that Condi is an intelligent, educated person that makes her lies so obscene. She knows better.
The suggestion that she can't possibly be the lying sack of shit because she's an African American woman is what's racist.

It drips with irony.
Ann Coulter spewed it first on Hannity's show, Novack said it on Crossfire, Rush and Hannity repeated it on the following Monday.
They ran that up the flag pole and no one saluted so they brought it back down but apparently our NEW DU'er (2 posts) still thinks it sells. Sorry no takers.

People were saying Bush was racist for trotting out a black woman to take the heat for him. I just think it can cut both ways. Blacks and women have struggled so hard to achieve high positions, I just don't like to see them sliced and diced on a personal basis. It just isn't right.

Do something! Anything! To keep the American people from figuring out that this entire administration is a pack of liars. I can hear Dick now, "Let's put Condi out there. Then anyone who criticizes can be called a racist. Teeheehee."
It's not Condi. It's the whole lot of them. You're right. We shouldn't criticize her, we should get rid of them ALL! Rummy, *, Dick, Ashcroft, Powell, Rice, etc. They are all incompetent, lying, thugs who have caused the deaths of thousands. Boot them all out.

What's laughable is BushCo executing the same plan over and over again and expecting different results. I'll say it again, I have NEVER before seen such an incompetent bunch of hacks in all my days. Grown-ups my ass. They are all a big joke on the American public and have failed to take responsibility for anything. I have never seen the like and hopefully after January of next year, I never will again.

I have never met one Democrat in my life who is a racist. Most black are Democrats. NOT ONE black member of Congress is a Republican.
I could go on and on but I get the feeling you are just going to keep on repeating the GOP talking point that criticism of Condi is racist. There isn't a scintilla of truth to that.
Democrats have faults but virtually NONE of us are racist.

35. Every day I believe more and more |
|
Every day I believe more and more that the media is watching and waiting, and will destroy Bush before the election.
Why do I believe this? They are still trying to make him look like he has a chance of winning in November.
Think about it...what good would it do to report an expose and cause the entire country to turn against him? I would not put it past the Repugnants to put his head on a chopping block and conjure up an entirely different nominee for November! (If they do, you can believe that something involving terrorism will be their reason)
The media are waiting until after the convention, that's all. I mean, what intelligent American, including the media, can't see what * is doing to America? I can't wait until the morning after the republican convention when I wake up and the crap is hitting the fan. I might actually take that day off of work to enjoy the fireworks :)
Just a hunch...
