[crispini]

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sought to end speculation Monday that she might be a vice-presidential running mate for Senator John McCain.

While praising Mr. McCain, Republican of Arizona, Ms. Rice said in an interview, “I don’t want to be, don’t intend to be, won’t be on the ticket.”

She said she would return to academic pursuits at Stanford University at the end of the Bush administration.

1. "....now that the torture information has been made public" she concluded. nt

4. Damn. That is the Dream Puke ticket,

7. She was campaigning for it last week. The word must have come down she wasn't being considered.

At least McWar has that much sense.

8. She doesn't want her private life put under a microscope...

...and no matter what shortcomings she might possess, she's smart enough to know that "leave no stone unturned" scrutiny would be unavoidable.

Condi wants to stick her nose up the Stanford money spout and keep it firmly anchored there. She'll get her ass kissed on a regular basis, she'll write her memoir and get the mother-huge payday she's dreamed of, and she'll fly under the radar as far as the contents of her closets are concerned.
