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?"

Well, yesterday's news, but I thought the picture with the MRC article was interesting - this is the EXACT look my girlfriend gets right before she slugs me.

Just spooked me out, that's all.

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

How many cabinet members stood up to Clinton, and did the media care? Liberals are looking for power wherever they can find it-- to expect the opposition to come from within the administration itself is simply a sign of their aimlessness.

The whole thing is insulting, since at its root it based on the assumption that Bush must be opposed.

Dr. Rice pointed out how Most of the intelligence on Iraq came from the UN. Of course Paula Zit or the RATS will never attack the UN for faulty intelligence. It is so obvious why all the intelligence was either a lie or based on false assumptions when you look at the Oil-for-Food scam. What makes me sick is the pubbies are afraid to point this out and nail the RATS to the wall with the facts.

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.

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

Oh well...

Don't remember Zahn making a case for Reno, Allbright,
or any of the other half-witted women Clinton ensconced in
his cabinet as being his puppets. And those were
so obvious it was an embarrassment to the men he had
around him...I should say the men that Hillary ALLOWED
him to have around him!

Oh, bite me.

Did Zahn or any one else EVER ask whether Janet Reno was anything other than Clinton's sock pupet? EVER?

See how too much bile and venom can distort an otherwise pretty face. Beauty is the function of soul.

Paula Zahn is an embarrassment to herself. Unfortunately she is either to intellectually poisoned or too stupid to know it.

She's nominated to IMPLELEMENT and formulate policies for the President. Being her 'own woman' and taking positions opposite of the President is not something you should EVER see.

Loyalty counts.

If a Secretary of State is "their own person" and does not follow the President, they should be replaced immediately.

At least she gives you a prior warning. Others not even so much as hiss or rattle.

Well, considering the source (MSM) I guess this was to be expected.

Obviuosly the members of the President's Cabinent will be people who will follwo the President's lead. I would also hope that a Presidentn would surround himself with competent people willing to tell him "the truth" an not just what may supoort his views. BUT, once a decision has been made, then the members of his cabinent MUST toe the line - anything else in unacceptable (for ANY administration!!)

I also like the jib that Biden's intelligence on the number of security forces in Iraq MUST be the correct one and the "how could you possibly support someone who claims a different number?"

Again - typical MSM BS - the next 4 years are going to be a lot of fun!
