I heard Rush say this week or last that liberals wanted to hurt Condi in case she replaced Cheney. I'd, of course, heard this, but I thought it funny that Rush mentioned it. Maybe he knows something.

Beware the unexpected from the RATS and their media handmaidens. They won't start out by challenging Dr. Rice on matters of substance; rather, they are gonna peddle the emotional stuff -- how do you feel, shouldn't you apologize to the families, shouldn't the President apologize.

Then, after they've softened her up and lowered her assertiveness, then they will attack on more substantive matters. Or dredge up totally inconsequential or unrelated stuff.

The objective will be to surprise her and get her off her game.

Well yeah, GSC, that's the point of the whole exercise.

The libs have been gunning for Condi for some time, now that they see that she could replace Cheney. Naturally, they are afraid of what she could do to their hold on the black vote, as well as other demographic considerations. For instance, the latest leak about her never-delivered September 11th speech is designed to undermine her while buttressing Clarke. In point of fact, it doesn't, and she'll be able to swat that out of the park. However, it points up the game that the Democrats are playing, and must play if Hillary is to have a clear shot in four years.

Rush probably does know something, as I suspect that he is wired into the Bush family far more than he admits.

Be Seeing You,
