US national security adviser Condoleezza Rice did not have the compassion needed to be secretary of state, Australian Greens leader Bob Brown said.

Senator Brown criticised Dr Rice, who has been nominated by US President George W Bush to take over from outgoing US Secretary of State Colin Powell.

"Condoleezza Rice is not a warm human being," Senator Brown told reporters.

"She's George W Bush's echo.

"But she's lacking the compassion we need to see in the office of secretary of state for the most powerful nation on the planet."

Senator Brown said there was a ruthlessness about Dr Rice which he found frightening.

"She hasn't got the compassion of her predecessor and has a certain ruthlessness about her which I think is quite frightening in an age where we need more understanding and compassion in international affairs," he said.

No doubt these views of the Australian puppet of the international left will be echoed around the globe.

It's great to see them squirming in an ocean of their own failure.

We who?

Rice Responds...

Hey boy, you talking to me?

[Mr. Mojo]

So far, to my knowledge, Condi's detractors are: St. Dept. socialists/Arabists, the Aussie Greens, the French, and leftists in general.

Quite the ringing endorsements.

Dear Greenies..go save a snail darter..

[Tarpaulin]

I get the feeling that Mr. Brown could be frightened by a bowl of popcorn.

[PeterFinn]

Big whoop.

[Aussie Dasher]

Condi could whip Brown's white fairy ass!

I'd love to see it.

[Nick Danger]

Even bigger whoop.

Condoleezza Rice is not a warm human being," Senator Brown told reporters

It's Dr. Rice to you, scumbag. (referring to Brown not you, Aussie).

What is so absurd about these Greens, beyond the obvious fact that they are a genetic cesspool, is that not one, not a single one of them has nearly the raw IQ, intellectual, or academic credentials of Dr. Rice. They mistakenly think that they are somehow her equal.

Their presumption of equivalence is clearly racist.

"She's George W Bush's echo."

Movie voiceover: They thought he was tough. Wait till they get a load of her!

I think some people are truly scared of America. I'd rather have their respect rather than their love. Respect and fear are great deterrents.

Smart, tough chicks are hot. Weak-spined, ditzy libs are a turn-off. We need MORE Condis!

And more Ann Coulters and Laura Ingrahams.

Girly-men are threatened by strong women with common sense and the will to do what is right.

"She...and has a certain ruthlessness about her..."

Very good. Let the enemies of freedom quake. Take the fight to them, Condoleeza.

If being a democrat becomes politically suicidal, then look for Hillary Clinton to run as a Green in 2008. It would be just like her to leave the dems stranded and dying after years of being loyal to her and Bill.

[Aussie Dasher]

Did I omit to mention that Bob Brown REALLY is a "girlyman"?

[Puppage]

"Condoleezza Rice is not a warm human being,"

Why? Because she doesn't let her emotions dictate her judgement?

Since WHEN is warmth a job qualification for Sec of State?

[Billthedrill]

Heckuva note when a four-star general who commanded a winning war is replaced by a woman academic...and she's the hard-ass!

[Not A Snowbird]

Frightening? Good!

[AreaMan]

I know Dr. Rice is an accomplished woman, concert pianist, figure skater, former Chancellor of Stanford, professor and a woman of extraordinary character and....she's got an awesome can.

The fact that these idiots consider her too right wing is just icing on the cake.

Seriously though, you could crack walnuts on that backside....

[matchwood]

That's great - that reaffirms my confidence in Dr. Rice.
