The Other Real Power In The Oval Office

But, at 48, she is alone: her parents are dead; there are no siblings, no children, no sign of a lover, and her friends live a long way away. She eats takeaways in her flat and spends her leisure time with the Bushes, as well as her working day. It seems a rather bleak advertisement for success.

Well, look at it with the glass half full. She is bright, beautiful, and has a good chance of being the first woman president of the most wonderful country on earth. I am certain there are a million men who would propose marriage. I am a big Condy fan, and already happily married but I will vote for her when the time comes.

The problem with a conservative black woman intellectual advisor is that it breaks the little leftwing intellectualoids out of their cherished stereotypes and forces them to think. The sceams you hear aren't screams at all, they're the shrieking of rusty, unused mental wheels forced to turn on their own without the help of presumption or ideology. They're not going to come to terms with it, so they're going to have to deal with it in other ways. Look for a character assassination campaign in the near future.

"I will vote for her when the time comes."

Ditto. (Just a simple Alabama girl, huh?)

[Pukka Puck]

Too bad she is a racist who thinks race should be used to determine who gets into college instead of merit.

[JennysCool]

It has gotten to the point where it absolutely DEFIES LOGIC that Ms. Rice is not held out as a sterling example not only to blacks and women but ALL Americans. The treatment of this woman by the mainstream media is all the evidence needed of not only rampant, but insane, bias.

[JennysCool]

Pukka Puck You.

[goodnesswins]

Are you sure about that?

[Cicero]

Interesting speculation. But it is pure speculation, because none of none of Bush's key people are talking to the press. The Guardian is beginning to realize that the Bush administration isn't all morons and airheads, which they earlier assumed to be the case, but it's doubtful that they have an inside track on how Bush's advisers work together.

"The Guardian is beginning to realize that the Bush administration isn't all morons and airheads."

The Guardian is the left of the British newspapers. Sumpin' up.

Well it seems we can't decide who is actually speaking for the President... But Condi would be a good one...

[upchuck]

Condoleezza Rice is, beyond any question, the most talked-about woman in Washington.

I dare say The Hildabeaste may take issue with that statement.

I also dare say that Condi would blow the 'beaste away in a fair fight.

[PhiKapMom]

Just so many good people surround him that it is hard to pick but the press are trying! Sounds like he cannot speak and think for himself. Guess the press will continue to underestimate him every day.

[SevenofNine]

Hey Blam forgetaboutit what UK Sunday Observer said I vote for Condi in New York minute

This is just Leftist Sunday UK Observer just running crap here maybe Condri hasn't met the right dude that could happen

[austinTparty]

she was notably brisk with proponents of affirmative acti

'nuff said. Try basing allegations on fact, rather than mindless speculation.

[Pukka Puck]

Yep.

"It is important to take race into consideration if you must, if race-neutral means do not work," she said.

In other words, she is in favor of a quota system. If race neutral means do not achieve the quota, then she advocates considering race to the extent necessary to achieve the quota. The important factor here, so far as she is concerned it meeting the quota, not any silly little principle such as equal protection under the law or refusing to discriminate against people because of race, no matter if the race happens to be white or Asian.

She is a racist who is favor of racial discrimination.

I guess you didn't see the many articles quoting her on this subject shortly after the Bush administration filed their brief with the SC.

What are you wearing?

[wretchard]

"What are you wearing?">

Pukka Puck, I noticed you signed up late last month. The comment you made above to a fellow Freeper may be interpreted as a threat. Did you mean it that way?

[section9]

I have read Dr. Rice's interviews. As have you. She believes that race is one factor that can be taken into account in college admissions. She also believes that Michigan went too far and actually runs a quota system, something she is not in favor of.

Such a logical progression does not lead to racism, no matter how many times you say it does.

Saying so does not make it so.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
