Condi! ping.

[My2Cents]

Of course the DNC has a hefty dirt file on Condi! That's what they do best -- generate dirt on people. And if there isn't enough out there to collect, they'll make some up.

[El Laton Caliente]

If DNC had that we would have already seen it. The DNC has never had mud it didn't sling!

[The_Media_never_lie]

The DNC is comprised and controlled mainly of whites and just has to keep the black woman down! hehehe!

[Miss Marple]

Conclusions we can reach from reading this :

1. The California Rats are very, very afraid of Schwartzenegger, and are trying to make him look like a dirty campaigner. I doubt he has any more than the usual file on all possible opponents, and I doubt seriously he is digging up dirt. It would not be characteristic. Rats would love to plant the idea that Schwartzenegger has dirt on Condi, the better to make us look askance at both.

2. Any information on Condi that isn't in the public domain (and believe me, the media has been trying to dig stuff up on her for at least the last three years) must either be manufactured or something from her youth which has been in her security clearance investigations. Anything which comes out like that would be tagged as to its source. If it is medical in nature then it is a double breach of confidentiality, particularly if it doesn't affect her performance in elected office.

My personal opinion is that this is simply the slime machine throwing mud by proxy, in the hopes that some conservatives will be willing to go with another, less Rat-threatening candidate.

I found this excerpt from that same page more interesting:

Never mind the blockbuster autobiography by that other former first lady. We hear Barbara Bush's latest is so hot that her publisher's in-house libel lawyers are asking her to tone it down. Which makes us wonder which of the famously frank author's least favorite people should be assuming a defensive crouch or purchasing a Kevlar vest.

"Reflections," Bush's memoir of the eight years between her husband's and son's presidencies, is being published Oct. 14 by Lisa Drew/Scribner. We hear that the recently completed manuscript -- every word written by the 77-year-old wife of George Bush the elder -- contains nearly a dozen passages that have caused the lawyers heartburn. In a couple of instances, we're told, the author has agreed to changes, but in most cases, she's sticking to her guns.

Yesterday we surveyed several Bush family friends to get an idea of which people might be the best-selling author's juiciest targets. The speculation includes cartoonist Garry Trudeau and New York Times pundit Maureen Dowd (relentless critics of the current President Bush), 1980 Bush campaign speechwriter turned Bill Clinton aide David Gergen, Democrat Ann Richards and independent candidate Ross Perot ("that woman" and "that horrid little man," respectively, in the Barbara Bush lexicon) and Republicans Patrick Buchanan, Steve Forbes and John McCain, who drew Bush blood in various political campaigns.

Former president Bush's chief of staff Jean Becker, one of the few who have seen the book, declined to comment except to predict: "It's going to be a very interesting book -- very chatty and very conversational, with Barbara Bush's typically refreshing and candid opinions about life."

"but we understand that Arnold Schwarzenegger" -- who might face President Bush's national security adviser in the GOP primary of a future California governor's race -- "has a real good file on her."

How does the DNC know this? Did Ahhnoold tell them? Yeah right.

[OpusatFR]

This is another really stupid move.

The liberals are in meltdown mode over Martha Stewart and the usual mantra of ~powerful, competent woman is victim of patriarchal powers~ ~they (whoever they are) are picking on a selfmade woman. ~They are going after a liberated female CEO.

Go ahead. Bash Condi. Just another nail in the DNC coffin.

[mabelkitty]

Arnold has too much in his background. This is obviously why he is gathering info.

He should bow out and retire from public life.

Since when did the Dimwits become so concerned about a candidate's skeletons in the closet? Bottom line. The CA Dimwits had better figure out who they are going to run in the Davis Recall election besides the moron Davis. The CA Dimwits only wish they had a candidate to run as good as Rice. The Dimwit seven dwarfs that are running for POUS couldn't hold a candle to Rice or Bush. DUMP DAVIS in '03. And KNOCKOUT BOXER in '04.

[OldFriend]

Heard Loretta Sanchez spewing all kinds of dirt on Arnold. Said he was a wife beater and a big time cheater on his wife.

The dems are experts at dirt that's for sure. They seem happiest when in the sewer.

[MattinNJ]

IMHO, Arnold would not dig up dirt on Condi (although if he were competing against her on stage he would hide her posing trunks). Do you think this sounds like him or is it just the rats up to their normal game?

[P-Marlowe]

I honestly don't think that Schwartzenegger could possibly afford to take a 15 million dollar a year pay cut from a cushy job as a mega movie star to take over the reigns of a bankrupt third-world state like California. What's in it for him, really?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Under grilling by social critic Camille Paglia

I am dubious of anything that comes out of Camille Paglia's mouth.

[DannyTN]

I bet they do. It's probably full of stuff the DNC considers dirt like:

• She's a Christian, Horrors! (I don't know if she is or not)
• She was pro-war!
• She talked the administration line!
• She's pro-Israel!
• She sat in the front of the bus!

[Rummyfan]

Another instance of 'projection' by the Democrats.....

[Non-Sequitur]

You mean to tell me that the DNC could have a dirt file a foot thick on Dr. Rice...but nothing on Arnold? Who are they trying to kid?

[lorrainer]

Bump for later

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? How come the "dirt" didn't come out when she was appointed by Bush - they threw dirt out there about everyone else.
