CNN's Zahn: Will Rice Be "Own Woman" or "President's Puppet?"
Media Research Center ^ | January 20, 2005 | Brent Baker

Posted on 01/20/2005 9:06:08 AM PST by Fido969

CNN's Paula Zahn on Tuesday night insultingly degraded Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice as she posed this question to Democratic Senator Joe Biden: "Do you see her being her own woman down the road or will she be nothing more than the President's puppet?" As if there's something wrong with the Secretary of State carrying out a President's policies. Zahn highlighted Senator Barbara Boxer's allegation that Rice's support of the Iraq war "'overwhelmed her respect for the truth.' Isn't that going to be a problem for her?" Zahn seemed appalled that Biden planned to vote for Rice's confirmation, citing how Biden and Rice disagree on the number of proficient Iraqi security forces: "So how can you support Doctor Rice if in fact her number is that vastly different from yours? You don't believe her number." She pressed: "So how can you support her if she doesn't have a clear assessment of that?"

Then she should't have quit the Hooters.

There is no question about whether or not Zahn is a puppet of the MSM bias. It isn't surprising, with that frame of reference, that she believes everyone has the same character.

Hey, wait a minute! I thought liberals told us Bush was too stupid to be in charge of anyone or anything.

I'm betting puppet. The very talented Powell did too much of his own thinking, so he's out.

I'm surprised that you posted this. Ms. Zahn's audience is about the size of my family. Did you actually see this program? Amazing.

No - to be honest I don't really watch much TV. Just the picture on MRC - that look... made me flinch.

Too bad she's a socialist. Otherwise Ms. Zahn seems a nice person.

I'm guessing she packs a pretty mean punch when she gets worked up, though.

Tell that to the Central Park hawks.

"So will Paula Zahn be "her own woman down the road " or nothing more than the Democrat left wing liberal's puppet?

Based on Paula's silly-assed question, Paula baby will be what she already is: a Democrat left wing liberal's puppet. (You are watching CNN. What does that tell you?)

All of this piling on Dr. Rice by the MSM is really making me sick. Dr. Rice is THE most intelligent woman to serve on a President's cabinet, and they are treating her like animal excrement. Un-freakin'-believeable!!! (Not to mention that she is female AND black)

What a strange coincidence. All the other acronyms like CBS, ABC and NBC have been parroting...er, saying the same thing.

Red Tail hawks, was it?

OK, she's a creep.

I hear she's a pretty good skier, though.

Max, when traveling I see CNN but at home it was long ago decided that cable is a giant waste of money.

Funny how the mainstream media never seems to ask these questions of have these 'concerns' over democratic folks, huh?

"Will Maddie Albright be her own woman, or just another Clintoonian sock puppet?"

Nope, these 'concerns' only arise on our side. Sheesh!

See Paula that's the difference between Dr. Rice, and yourself.



Condi can actually be accused of having original thoughts.

Quit Hooters? Hah! She would never have been hired. Hooters gals got breast-works. Poor Paula is way to skinny for a class place like Hooters!

the premise of this is absurd. to suggest that the secretary of state could or should independently formulate the foreign policy of the united states is inane. as does any member of the cabinet, the sec'y of state serves at the pleasure of the president.

paula zahn is a twit
