What is realy sad about this spectacle is not the actions
of the Dems. Rather it's the silence of the President, Vice President
the RNC leadership, senate REPUBLICAN leadership and all the rest
of the little men of the REPUBLICAN party.

I dont think there is a job out there that is worth this kind
of humiliation.

Condi if I were in your place I would wait for the confirmation
and then march up to to your boss and tell him to
go "do something impossible" himself.

Maybe you should watch the Senate proceeding before stating no one has spoken out in strong support of Dr. Rice.

And I very much DOUBT Condi shares your opinion of the President and Vice President.

Who do you think you are, Biden?

[Miss Marple]

The President isn't going to get in a shouting match with the minority loonies. He also doesn't do it because this is the provence of the Senate.

Condi will be confirmed, and I am certain that at an appropriate time he will answer her critics, as well as devising ways to make Senator Boxer's life more miserable.

According to the rules of the Senate, these yahoos are allowed to speak. The President has no control over their actions.

Dr. Rice has to be strong, capable and unequivocal in the position for which she is nominated. Should she show the slightest weakness, (and doing as you suggest to the President) would energize those despicable dregs in Congress.

Besides, I believe Dr. Rice is more than capable to withstand the slings and arrows of self-serving Congress critters.

The President is supporting Condi This from the Dems is typical .. they did it to almost everyone of his nominations It's best to sometimes sit back and let the Dems shot themselves

IMHOFE IS UP NOW!!

This is a Senate function---Bush can't get involved, and I am sure Condi has been told what to expect--

Why do some people always find a way to blame Bush for everything? I thought that was the dems modus operendi!

[Wolfstar]

Condi if I were in your place I would wait for the confirmation and then march up to to your boss and tell him to go "do something impossible" himself.

That says more about the kind of person you are than anything else.
