sour grapes
"There are thousands of them that I know"
Must have an active social life to personally know thousands of people!
Ummm, how about some kudos to President Bush for recognizing that talent and giving it it's rightful place?
I good response would be something like:
neener neener neener
A regular wine fest.
This is the same author who wrote an article titled "Beyonce Knowles, role model? You better believe it".
I guess Condi just is not in the same league as Beyonce!!
Translation: "You go, girl! But, ummm, not too far from the plantation, okay?"
Typical envy-driven BS.
Envy, envy, envy... if they are a dime a dozen... why isn't the author of this article one?
Just a question.
"Not to diminish Rice’s accomplishments..."
BS. That is precisely the whole point of the article.
It would be very interesting to see this writer's comments if and when Dr. Rice would be nominated for President or Vice President. My belief is that, like Donna Brazile, it will be very hard for these folks to avoid saying "You go, girl!"
Deborah Mathis is a whiner and a naysayer.
If she's so dadgummed smart, how come she isn't secretary of state?
Waaahhhh, why isn't she a liberal?! Because Condi has sense and intelligence, not just activism.
It's most amusing to see that in conservative and moderate circles racism is diminishing, while in liberal circles racism is increasing. It's because the US is smart enough now to not be racist - unfortunately it's due to that same smartness that the US is not liberal.
Ooops.
As usual, the successful black's worst enemy is other blacks.
What a load of trash, it took this ignorant administration "package" to appoint Mrs. Rice.
All those enlightened, nuanced and educated administrations have never come close to putting a Black person in such a powerful position, much less replacing the first black SOS with a black woman SOS.
This article is just a condecending load of trash.
Such an Administration would never appoint her, because the Other Party thinks blacks are helpless victims, dependent on the Other Party's largesse for their very survival.
And the writer is confused if she thinks Condi Rice-types are a "dime a dozen". What the writer is speaking of are lot of pseudo-Condis like herself - liberal middle managers in government, corporate HR departments, or the editorial staffs of magazines, whose mouths and attitudes are a lot bigger than their resumes.
No wine could come from that. Just vinegar.
I'm sure there have been a number of Phlegmocrat administrations that, in the opinion, of the writer fit the description above. Perhaps the question that should be asked, then, is why these more palatable administrations did not see fit as to place qualified "can-do sisters" in positions of authority as the Bush administration has done. Surely, its not that these superior administrations only pay lip service to the can-do sisters of the world?
