I’m sorry but I respectfully disagree. Rice would be the worst pick, IMO. She is anti-Israel. And she was not a good Sec. of State.

And she's a Pro-Abortionist. She does play the piano well, but so does KeyBoard Cat. I'd be more likely to support KeyBoard Cat as a VP pick than I would Rice.

Good point. Why is it that success and ability in life is so often defined in the context of academic qualification and interpreted ‘intelligence’?

My mother, from a working class background with a poor education is easily the most intelligent person I know...biased as I may be, I was bought up in the opposite environment and am fairly well educated.

It is more often snivelling elitist leftists that define class and suitability based on itelligence, or more grades to the point. This is a nonsense.

The best business and political leaders aren’t necessarily the most ‘educated’, they are clear thinking, common sense, considered thinkers. This is something you simply can’t teach.

Of course this is not to say those of an especially well educated background can’t be magnificent in any given field.

I’ve never believed in the Condi Rice hype. Overated based on background, a nice women but history will quickly forget her.
