Rice confirmation hearings on C-Span 1 now.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

According to NBC, both sides of the aisle say her confirmation will go easily.

Make a note of what Dems vote to confirm.....

[EFerrari]

1. It's so early to start yelling at the television. n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. Or in my case, my computer! Poor thing............ n/t

[Viva_La_Revolution]

2. Yes, I'm afraid...

she will get voted in. However, I'm sure some of the questions will be very interesting...and I'm sure some of her 'answers' will be PRICELESS!!!!

[paineinthearse]

4. Well. let's see what Joe Biden does.

He can be quite disamring.

So far he's been very polite.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. Like Biden handled Gonzales probably...............................

[paineinthearse]

9. "I plan on voting for you for Secretary of State"

:puke:

[paineinthearse]

11. "President Bush is our President...

...for the next four years. Get over it. Get over it. Get on with the Peoples business...."

:puke:

[EFerrari]

16. Notice how he brought up the fact that all of Europe hates Bush nt

[EFerrari]

7. This is not California's proudest moment. Our Republican

Senator introducing a shill from Chevron. But I see Biden is already sounding the war note. Someone should ask where those mushroom clouds went.

[BR_Parkway]

8. Just tuned in, is she under Oath? She looks pissed already that these

people are daring to question her.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. She was just sworn in. Evoking 9/11 right off the bat.

[paineinthearse]

17. Now under oath.

Just sworn, but she won't say anything untruthful because only softball questions will be asked.

Regarding looking pissed, well, that's just the natural look for a neocon.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. Make a note, Feinstein is introducting Rice. n/t

[EFerrari]

13. Courtesy that a senator from your home state introduces you.

I say we revoke her residency.

[tinanator]

14. feinstein on gun control

really isnt consistent when it comes to supporting mass murder, illegal invasions and subverted democratic government.
Id like to resoultely solve her problem.

[vlad]

18. anyone??

Anyone want to concentrate on her and try to make her say something "unacceptable"?

[EFerrari]

19. Too late, she already invoked MLK

Rice worked for Chevron while Chevron was arming the Nigerian army to murder protesting oil workers. Dr. King is rolling in his grave.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. I was on am IM with a friend when evoked King, and told her the

same exact thing. That King was rolling over in his grave... She is pure sleaze.

[EFerrari]

22. She wants to institutionalize devastation in what she's calling

the "office of stabilization and reconstruction". Defense contracts, anyone?

It's like Tony Soprano calling himself an environmental manager.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

23. roflmao!!!!! n/t

[SueZhope]

20. DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR

here we go again spreading freedom when we don't even have it here
at home.....I can not believe what I am hearing. :cry:

[Sydnie]

24. Go Joe Bidden!

200,00 -- 210,000 and our guys say our training program is not adequate! She is full of shit!

[seabeyond]

25. thumbs up to biden n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

42. Will it matter that she lied about those numbers of trained Iraqis? Isn't

that perjury?

As to Biden, he's going to confirm her anyway. IMHO he deserves not a single kudo.

[sepia_steel]

26. PUUUUUUUUUUUKE

What is the point? No matter what she would have gotten the position. :cry:

The sight of her makes me sick.

War on terrorism my ASSSSSS.

[SueZhope]

32. she is all hot air no substance

she could win the award for cooperate kiss ass queen.
its astounding that she is allowed to be in such a high position.
(then again look who is president)

:cry: :puke:

[sepia_steel]

27. wtf

is she smiling about?

[Karenca]

28. CondaLOSER Rice.........

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

:puke: :puke: :puke:

:puke: :puke:

:puke:

[EFerrari]

29. We need to define our terms here.

War on Terror: War on Terra

Freedom: Neocon Agenda

Democracy: Kleptocracy

GOP: Graft on Parade

Immigration reform: steady supply of slave labor

(I can't keep up with this bs.)

[Oversea Visitor]

30. Woah

This guys got it right.

[seabeyond]

31. i am waiting for boxer, anyone hear anything n/t

[EFerrari]

35. Not yet. Yesterday her PAC sent a note saying she had

30K signatures on the petition to hold Rice accountable.

[seabeyond]

36. got that thanks n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

48. I think she is up after lunch break. n/t

[seabeyond]

33. just saw kerry there, that will be fun too......n/t

[EFerrari]

34. "restructuring Palestinian Security Forces"

Oh broTHER. Memo to Palestinian Authority: get your lawyers ready NOW.

[seabeyond]

37. it really doesnt matter the words out of this womans mouth

no one really sees anything informative or brilliant or insightful in them. she really drones on and on

lordy she has learned how to draw her answer out. remember during 9/11 they were telling her how to do it and actually talking about it during the meeting

[EFerrari]

38. Ooo, they're concerned about the lack of a democratically elected

leader who governs in an illiberal way.

And she's talking about CUBA!

LOL

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

39. Notice they are all talking "fait complete". Not If you are

Secretary of State, but when you are........

[righteous1]

41. Forgone conclusion, scuttlebutt is the vote could be unanimous

[seabeyond]

45. because it is.....n/t

[JoMama49]

40. It continues to amaze me that all of these Senators

really believe we are "advancing freedom" all over the world?! Nothing about WMDs, nothing about the so-called threat to America - just advancing freedom. Pity the country where we go to advance freedom next!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

43. It is all BS! Smoke and Mirrors. The Dems are supposed to bring up

some questions to look strong, but to vote for this lying piece of scum shows their true colors.

[EFerrari]

46. Agree. But they have scheduled a lot of time. Why? n/t

[seabeyond]

47. biden talked about it, and talked about how nobody is talking

about it. how bush decalares this and quietly it goes through the media.

and non of the dems are saying bush is "advancing freedom" , they are saying the opposite

[seabeyond]

44. ya, lol i heard. lordy......n/t

[Karenca]

49. Kerry's Speaking Now...........nt

[Goldeneye]

50. Oh biden

that was adorable. Did you guys catch that?

[seabeyond]

57. whAT, the introducing.....n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

51. Kerry is up! n/t

[helderheid]

52. It's good to see him

and sounds like he's going to make her squirm!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

53. He's calling her on her frigging lies!!!!!!

[BR_Parkway]

54. "Welcome to the land of Oaths and Testimony......." made for a very

interesting opening.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

60. She is deflecting away, evoking Iraqi Freedom.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

62. He just stopped her from her deflection and trying to get her to answer

his question, which was about why aren't we accepting eager International help to train forces for Iraq.

[SueZhope]

56. Good for him

Thank god he is challenging
this incompetent women.

[EFerrari]

65. Now she's having to justify why we won't let other nations be

more involved without saying, "We wanna make all the war profits."

[EFerrari]

55. She stopped smiling. Thank you, John. nt

[JoMama49]

64. She just told Senator Kerry that the insurgents are ex-

Bathists who reaped the rewards of Saddam's regime and spent their lives oppressing people who did not. This is the profile of the insurgents? Do folks really believe that?!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

67. Another lie under oath............n/t

[EFerrari]

70. They don't know what to believe any more. n/t

[smartvoter]

58. He put a quick stop the love fest. nt

[smartvoter]

63. He's cutting her bullshit off and redirecting. nt

[SueZhope]

59. is Condi going to say "its hard work"?Im waiting n/t

[pacalo]

61. Her answers are made up of variations of the same old platitudes.

Will she answer to Kerry's comment about the leader who is training only 146 (?) officers but has been rebuffed at training more?

[pacalo]

66. "We're *growing* insurgency...not diminishing it."

The witch doesn't get it. She's been "heartened".

[EFerrari]

68. That would require a biological miracle. n/t

[JoMama49]

69. And these Iraqi citizens who are doing all the voting -- they are

grateful that over 100,000 of their fellow citizens, including women and children, have been blown away? And, how exactly do we tell the difference between an Iraqi eligible to vote and an ex-member of the Bathist party (insurgent)? Are insurgents allowed to vote? If not, how do you stop them?

[JoMama49]

72. Now Sen. Norm Coleman telling everyone what a "miracle"

Afghanistan elections were! What happened there can happen in Iraq?!
And, then, after we bomb the hell out of Iran, it can happen there too?!

[EFerrari]

71. Norm Coleman on the "miracle" of the Afghani elections

Oh, it was miraculous all right. 140% turnout! 'Way to go.

[pacalo]

73. 140% election turnout is the new trend started by WhatsHisFace.

[jsascj]

74. Nope...

Not gonna watch it. Every time I see anyone even associated with the criminal administration...off it goes. I even threw away the talking Bush doll (it says all of the moronic things this buffoon has said) that my husband gave me.

I get sicker about this with each passing day.

[sepia_steel]

75. GO FEINGOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAY TO TO MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE

[sepia_steel]

76. Hahahahahahahha

"financial pleasures- er- pledges"

[NickiWitch]

77. BEST SLIP O' THE TONGUE EVER! n/t

[EFerrari]

78. Her deposit slip is showing. n/t

[EFerrari]

79. Barbara is on now. And she's starting strong with the tsumani

response debacle.

[sabra]

80. Very strong!

[EFerrari]

81. She's quoting Richard Clarke but attributing to Bergen

Doesn't matter. Nice to have ONE Senator from CA with some backbone.

[EFerrari]

82. "This is a pattern I see from you" - Boxer to Rice

on her war lying.

[Poisonskin_com]

83. Condi is angry angry.

Always ANGRY.
