Did I hear correctly on Meet the Press this morning...

[AngryOldDem]

... that there is speculation that Rice may take over for Rumsfeld at Defense? That Wolfowitz may take over for Rice as NSA?

Russert threw those out during the discussion with Safire and Dowd.

I hope my hearing was playing tricks on me -- this is the first time that I'd heard that Rumsfeld may not be coming back, which I find almost impossible to believe.

1. Rice is worse than useless. No way this would happen.

[ogradda]

2. the only person that could possibly do worse at defense

would be "those were historical documents" condi rice.

17. Thank you!

The most apt metaphor for this situation by far.

The tragedy is, we are all aboard as passengers.

4. Miss Rice has less credentials for

SOD than she has academic credentials--None. Her degrees are bought/honorary, as is her credibility. She is a FRAUD.

7. Gee, you sure about that? Phoney creds?

I hear on MSRNC and CCNN where they **always** make a point of calling her *Dr* Rice..


/sarcasm off

12. Let's see:

she is 49/50. Graduated HS in 1972 or 1973. According to her website, she took three years off from college at some point. Which would mean a de facto entrance into college of 1975/76, whether it was before or during does not matter.

So-according to her website- she is saying that by 1980 she had completed a Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. Uh, no. It took me 5, 2, and 5. Twelve years is fairly normal for a Ph.D. and most (if they are not bought or honorary)take 13-15 yrs., without including the "three years off."

Fuzzy math will catch the dishonest every time. There was a story a while back stating that 75-80% of advanced degrees "earned" by government workers consisted of a couple of weekend seminars. This does not even take into account the various diploma mills that are constantly popping up around the country only to be shut down by recognized academic overseers.

10. Can't think of a better person for the Bush Crime Family's

Secretary of Defense. A perfect figurehead for this fascist government's military establishment.

6. Wolfowitz and Rice are worse than Rumsfeld

[shuffnew]

8. Rumsfeld?

Ummm.. well, we know to watch for clearing a path for US Supreme Court appointments... surely not Rumsfeld though?!?!?!

Rice as Denfense?

Oh my!!!! Nothing would surprise me with these thugs. Who knows?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

13. Does Rumsfeld even have a law degree?

[newyawker99]

19. Hi shuffnew!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[acmavm]

9. I've read more than once where Wolfowitz was described as 'the most

dangerous man alive on the planet today'.

[WindRavenX]

16. He's a nazi

And I use that term VERY rarely.
But Wolfowitz is just fucking BATTY INSANE.

[LiberalForEver]

11. You heard it right

Wolfowitz = :puke:

[alvis]

The part about Condi being SOD.
