Easy - in the end she'll be SecState, and they'll still be idiots, and irrelevant idiots at that.
For the 2nd time in about 2 years. He must need the money!
sounds like Chaffe..can't see the TV. Is it wimpy?
Condi humours the old fogie..times up!
Now I have to stick around and hear sKerry. Then I must get some things done here too.
Every time he gets around Dick Lugar he kisses his ass for an extremely long time.
More than can be said about the Senator from New Joisey (and I don't mean Corzine).
Nope, not money. Camera opportunity.
And now we have soft-spoken RINO Linc Chaffee of Rhode Island. The name "Chauncey Gardner" would be appropriate for him, IMHO...
Yes, a blatant refusal to defend and protect our sovereign borders.
chaffee: "dr king was one of my heroes"...i'm surprised he didn't say that some of his best friends are black.
Rice articulating the role a Sec of State can play when dealing with other countries re their economies and how our own is affected.
Rice notes we are the fastest growing and we have great economic strength.
Sarbanes s l o w l y saying other countries growing and make us more dependent but (thank the Lord) his time is up.
Chaffee up. Welcomes her and asks if her father knew Martin Luther King.
Rice: He did, he was a minister in Birmingham and they all admired Dr. King.
Chaffee says Dr. King is one of his heroes and she states he is one of hers, too.
Question is being answered as the work Powell has left that she'll build on. She notes in the past it has taken years to bring in new personnel. The technology was awful when this administration came in and they hope to continue upgrading throughout. Some areas still had Wangs which are several generations old.
She harks to her Stanford experience in order to reference the plan in this area.
Well paid, management skills, security of personnel abroad. All of these areas have been worked on and will continue.
Who's the idiot who keeps walking in front of Condi???
Hopefully once we get hydrogen fuel sources developed in 20 years, we can put all that to rest. Newt has a good chapter about that in his new book..
Kerry showing up for a U.S. Senate function should be in breaking news, fer sure.
Her answer to this question was not in the context of border control.
with so many idiots there, you want us to name only one ?
Thanks for that note...I'm on CSPAN. I am back to avoiding Matthews when I can. Yay on the imminent swearing in.
LOL -- neither PS nor any other damn dirty 'Rat is chair of ANY committee in Washington except the party caucuses.
