Bravo Senator Boxer And Rep Wexler For Slamming Rice
Its about time our Senate and Congress ask them the tough questions, and try, try to get
the answers from this corrupt administration.



Condoloser Rice-A-Roni was visibly agitated, and did not answer the questions of course,
people tell me how smart she is, if she is, which i dont think so, she doesnt show it.
:hi:

1. When she was provost at Stanford, she was definitely underwhelming
I've never been less impressed with a so-called academician's intellect.

18. I saw her speak a couple of times, very unimpressive
The crap she pulled with the ethnic student centers was legendary, though. She tried to eliminate them as part of her larger ideological purge. She apparently had a total meltdown when students challenged her decisions.

16. link for video of the whole hearing

http://www.senate.gov/~foreign/archives/2008/archive021308.ram

all of them including GOP were critical of her on different topics.

Condi seems to HATE Boxer!!

20. In the Foreign Relations Confirmation hearings for Rice, Boxer decimated her and yet
all but 2 Democrats voted to recommend her as Secretary of State. Boxer and Kerry dissented.

21. The Dems were afraid to reject a black woman even though
they knew how incompetent she was.
