I must admit that I am not sure where I heard it this weekend, but I thought it was a great line.

It went something like this:

The commission is frothing at the mouth to get their hands on Condi. But remember the last time a panel was frothing at the mouth to get an NSC member in front of them? They wanted to lynch a Marine Lt Col. And remember how that turned out.

Personally, I think they have them right where they want them:

Clarke has been discredited.
Condi can take them on, in public, without editing.
She will tear them apart because she can be both charming and cutting at the same time.
She is loyal to the end. And so is Bush.

She ain't going down. She will come out of this the pre-functory nominee in '08--and there will be an onslaught from the right and the center to oust the VP in favor of her.

She will be their secret weapon if Kerry picks McCain. A Black Woman Veep trumps a turncoat old fool every day of the week. I can feel tightness in Dicks chest as I type.
