Condoleeza Rice Enters The Lion's Den
The Hope For America ^ | May 6, 2011 | Interview

Posted on 05/06/2011 7:33:27 AM PDT by Ron H.

Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice more than holds her own against Lawrence O'Donnell in an 11 minute sit down interview on the reasons for going to war in Iraq and the WoT. She artfully schools Lawrence on how this interview was going to be conducted. He kept trying to hi-jack the interview as usual and she wouldn't let him. She effectively tamed him and was able to maintain her objective.

The woman is simply awesome and dynamic. It's always good to see someone put O'Donnell in his place from time to time, to cut him down to size by keeping him in line. It makes one wish more conservatives had her kind of backbone, tenacity, suave finesse, command and control of the interview and interviewer while keeping control in a calm and masterful way. She gave a very strong performance in this video of her interview.

Makes one wish that Condoleeza Rice was running in the field of Republican candidates instead of the weak kneed wimps currently hop scotching themselves merrily along their way to another defeat at the ballot box in 2012.

O’Donnell had that smirk of all knowing on him I wanted to slap him oops upside the head. He is an ASS

I find her to be the least bothersome of Bush’s crew. I’ve never been a big fan of the neocons (i like good old fashioned conservatism thank you). However if Fox needed to have a middle of the roader I wish they would hire someone like her to replace Whoraldo Rivera. At least she can calmly frame an argument and deliver it with a touch of class

She’s an economic liberal.

O’Donnell is a commie leftwing liberal loon.

It’s easy for especially bright and smart people to put such people in their place and keep them there during interviews.

But you have to be armed with the truth, the facts and the statistics and you must have them committed to memory.

Rice does and she showed it.

Miss Rice may be very articulate and ‘awesome’, but she was an eager student of Albright’s father who was a New World Order geek. (Along with Madelynn.)

La Hitlery subscribes to the same lame-brained theories.

Right at the beginning of the video:

Lawrence..... Lawrence.....Lawrence...Lawrence, we can end the interview right now, if you don't want me to finish my point..."

Yet here Condi stands quite firmly for American power and leadership despite a virulent attack.

Great interview with Condi.

O'Donnell won't last as long as Olberman. Neither of them learned the central law of entertainment: Never get boring. He will not attract quality guests and the viewers that he has will go away.

What I don't understand is how educated people could keep trotting out such idiots, Mr. Ed, etc. MSNBC is the angry-bad-manners-liberal-bore-of-the-month-club.

I know. Don’t you just hate the snarky, condescending smirk of a liberal?

Glad to hear that Condi did well on MSNBC. I would have advised her not to go there.

She would make a good presidential candidate. She’s brilliant and sincere, plus she’s a big sports’ fan.

Bravo!
