QUOTE OF THE DAY –
Vice President Commemorates 75th Anniversary of the Veterans Administration
DAR Constitution Hall
Washington, D.C.
10:15 A.M. EDT
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much. I am privileged to be here today and in ways that you may not even understand owe my presence here today to Dr. Debakey; because some five years when then Governor Bush was considering who he wanted to have as his running mate, and he decided he wanted to consider me as a possibility, one of the issues that came up, obviously, was my own history of coronary artery disease. And the man who talked to my cardiologist and then talked to the Governor and said he thought I could probably do the job was none other than Dr. Debakey. So I wouldn't be here today if it hadn't been for his fine endorsement some five years ago. And I've always been deeply appreciative of that

The first two pictures "I heard you Chuckie and I'm letting you know we're doing things my way."
Dr Rice herself expressed anger at what happened.
Part of the article as follows:-
Security forces in the Sudanese capital manhandled U.S. officials and reporters traveling with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, marring her round of meetings with leaders of the new unified government. Rice demanded an apology, and got it.
"It makes me very angry to be sitting there with their president and have this happen," she said. "They have no right to push and shove."
Rice made her remarks to reporters Thursday after she and her entourage boarded an airplane to fly from the capital to a refugee camp in the Darfur region. At the camp, she said the Sudanese government must prove its promises are credible and she would hold the government to account if it fails to end the refugee crisis.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the Sudanese foreign minister responded to Rice's demand for an apology by telephoning her aboard the plane to express regret for the incidents at the ultra-high-security residence of Sudanese President Omar el-Bashir.
Twice, Sudanese guards' hostility toward members of Rice's entourage devolved into shouts and shoving.
