Secretary of State Condi Rice: Will It Make Things Better or Worse?
Honestly, I don't know which is the scarier thought, that she is replacing Colin Powell, or who will replace her as National Security Adviser. :scared:

1. I really don't want to give you a heart attack
but she can do both. Henry "The Voice" Kissinger did that for Nixon.

7. It is all scary! They think the State Dept hasn't been pro-Israel enough!
They aren't going to use Arafat's death to do anything other then back Israel even more.

9. When Loyalty is measured by how
well you lie and cover up and make everything sound all fine and beautiful, and when you make an interesting slip of the toongue and call the pResident your Husb--- oops.,

Why yes, yes, you should be rewarded with a promotion.

The me first, screw you state of mind will be the dominant diplomatic direction now- more transparently than before. They won't make any more attempt to cover it up. Won't that win friends and influence potential allies?

14. Andrea Mitchell was describing Bush at Condi's B-Day party on Saturday
as EXTREMELY AFFECTIONATE. What the hell does that mean? Her entire description of them was really creepy.

Tweety asked if Powell resigned or was fired. Mitchell said a little of both.

But we shouldn't worry. Rummy isn't going anywhere.

Nothing these fuckers do is designed to do anything other than the opposite of what we want.

13. She's one of the most poorly qualified & unsuccessful cabinet members..
Edited on Mon Nov-15-04 07:51 PM by ReadTomPaine
.. in our lifetimes. I would have even transfered out of her class if she were just a professor of mine back in college nevermind SoS, she's so bad at virtually everything she does. She's not even a good liar.

16. She sure isn't a good liar.
She might be the worst political liar that I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot.

19. Take the cardboard doll standing in the
local Blockbuster Video rental. Stand it up in Colon Bowel's office.

There. You have your new Secretary of State. Same difference.
