My local 11:00 news talked about Condi being headed for easy confirmation and then "the tide turned." It showed Boxer questioning Condi.
IS there any doubt about confirmation??

5. True believers love her |
|
and the true believers are the only people Idiot ever listens to. If Congress won't confirm her (unlikely, with Delay holding party purse strings), expect Bush to do something underhanded to keep her in the office she is ill suited for.
My guess is that she will sail through with enough old maids in pants on the Dem side of the aisle voting for her to make the difference.

These are the same senators who did not contest the election (except Boxer). They are making a stink for your benefit and mine, but they will cave. They always have. You can take that to the bank.
Plus, lest we forget, Repubs are in the majority.

6. The good news is that they are showing opposition to her. |
|
I have seen a segment of Boxer's interview repeated on the news, and it was on Charlie Rose (with Henry Kissinger).

It's the gossip rag that our press has turned into. They need to rile up the "mainstream" folks watching them for ratings, nothing more. I wish it were not the case, but I'm thinking that's the real story here.
