I don't have cable anymore and my TV "antenna" reception sucks, but I do have DSL and am enjoying watching the poised Miss Rice as she
slices, dices and juliennes the past participants in the Clinton reign of corruption (Jamie Gorelick and Dick Ben-Veniste). All they can do is smile their icy smiles as she lands hit after subtle hit, in the most ladylike way I've ever witnessed, square in the gut of the Clinton administration.
But maybe I'm reading too much into her comments.
I was hard on her right after September, but she acquitted herself well today, in explaining the administration's actions WRT national security in the months leading up to September 11th.
From what I've seen and read about Condi Rice, she is pretty straight forward, so I am pretty certain that you aren't reading anything other than the truth.
She is quite a lady and I do admire here. The job she has is tough, not one I would want...
