WHO'S HOT....

1. CONDOLEEZA RICE



The Bush administration appears to be turning up the volume on the diplomatic drums of war as it gets ready to womp the daylights out of the celebrated Iraqi auteur and psychotic, Saddam Hussein. And in order to counter the international diplomatic rif-raff opposing such an initiative, Mr. Bush has deep-sixed his wussy Secretary of State Colin Powell and has unleashed a diplomatic counterattack featuring the administration's only foreign-policy guru with balls -- the very feminine but otherwise capable and assertive Condoleeza Rice.

Ms. Rice, the White House national security adviser, tells it like it is, especially when confronted with the many cowardly ancestors of the folks in Europe who brought us Munich's "peace in our time", France's near-instant surrender in WW II and Vichy, and the appeasement of any dictator who would shake a stick at them.

In London, confronting the usual BBC anti-American talking heads who oppose anything George W. Bush does -- short of surrendering the White House to al-Qaeda or Saddam -- and who double as BBC foreign-policy experts, Ms. Rice unequivocally stated: "[Saddam] is an evil man who, left to his own devices, will wreak havoc again on his own population, his neighbors and, if he gets weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them, all of us. This is a very powerful moral case for regime change."

There will be no Munichs so long as Mr. Bush is in charge, Condie further told the quaking BBC appeasement-crazed cognoscenti, shocked that any black American woman could so easily and articulately rip apart their whiney protestations. In the end, the appeasement crowd appeared to be trying to appease Condoleeza. And once again, Ms. Rice had ably presented to the equivocating Europeans a strong argument for applying forceful "realpolitik" in dealing with amoral despots like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

Let's face it. When it comes to dealing with the appeasing European left, Secretary of State Colin Powell cowers; and Condoleeza Rice rules!

2. JACK GRUBMAN




Talk about a notorious 15 minutes of fame. Investors all across the United States now know Jack Grubman. He's the sleazy stock analyst under multiple investigations for issuing hyped-up research calls in order to help his firm, Salomon Smith Barney, win lucrative investment banking deals. For example, Mr. Grubman was still hyping WorldCom to his clients as a "Buy", while corrupt WorldCom executives were frantically looting the company and preparing to jump ship (and Chapter 11 was only a day or two away).

Mr. Grubman insists he did nothing wrong. He made a ton of money touting the imploding telecommunications companies, and he's proud of it. To hell with all those poor suckers out there who lost millions following his crooked advice.

Well, now the rightfully embattled Mr. Grubman is making headlines for having resigned from Salomon Smith Barney by "mutual agreement" -- whatever that means. In other words, Salomon Smith Barney now realizes (and probably always knew) what a crook their celebrated stock analyst is and wants him out of there as fast as possible -- no matter if they had to bribe him to go.

The good news is that rumors persist that New York prosecutors have evidence that Jumpin Jack accepted all kinds of heavy-hitter "gifts" in return for promoting telecommunication lemons like WorldCom. And if that's the case, Mr. Jack Grubman may be on his way to the Big House, where he obviously belongs.

Don't drop the soap in the shower, Jack. Some of your fellow convicts may have been WorldCom investors.

Re: Algore: Talk about losers. Whenever he needs a bit of positive publicity, former U.S. Vice President seems to have an uncanny knack of making himself look like a putz.

......aaaarrrggghhhh!!! I just had to look, didn't I.

[AdA$tra]

If she was that hot, all that plastic would certainly melt.

[SantosLHalper]

You b&*^%$#!!! I was just about to sit down to supper. Now I'm blind and nauseous.

[RaceBannon]

You must live in Connecticut, because it's almost that here....

[GraniteStateConservative]

Hey, The Iconoclast,

It's Condi, not Condie, and it's Dr. Rice, not Ms. Rice, and it's Condoleezza.

Learn it. Love it. Live it.

Condi Group Posts bump.

[LibKill]

it's Dr. Rice, not Ms. Rice

Yes indeed.

[Samwise]

Hillary's worst nightmare.

[rintense]

Agreed. Condi would mop the floor with that Hillary rag. Hey GSC, I have to remember to not include the 'e' in Condi.

[Samwise]

Condi would mop the floor with that Hillary rag.

I like that picture. :)

[LibKill]

Hillary's worst nightmare.

Oh yes. Bring it on.

My prediction; Dr. Rice knocks the Hildabeast out of the (political) ring in the first round.

[Lady In Blue]

I bet you wouldn't say that to her face.There's nothing plastic about her,except to people(Democrats) who have a problem with her being in the position she's in

[MattinNJ]

Dr. Rice is simply unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, I love Cheney (I think he would have been a great president), but it may be better if Dr. Rice and Cheney switched jobs in 2004. Man, what I would pay to see her stomp Hillary's fat ass in a debate. Hillary, like any other bully, would implode when faced by a stronger opponent. Brains, class, experience, overcoming adversity, etc...it wouldn't even be close. On top of it all, Dowd and company would have to throw out all those "first female POTUS" articles they've already written.
