Rice has arrived...dark suit (looks black on my tv) and a strand of pearls and pearl button earrings. Big smile on her face. Lots of cameras clicking.
It was 1988. He didn't run against the incumbent in 1992 -- that was Pitchfork Pat.
Condi looks great!
It's not and I posted on another thread how idiotic ED sounded. She is so annoying when she adopts that "not let's be fair" attitude and comes out with something like "Little Rock is harder to get to" to defend the fact that obviously nobody likes or cares about clinton and they don't want to dirty themselves by going in his liebrary.
Back on this topic: Shame on Fox for not going LIVE right away. MSNBC and CNN have as well as CSPAN (which is what I'm going to watch).
DiFi is sitting next to Rice and will be doing an introduction.
I hope somehow she works the inauguration into her testimony -- that will frost JFK.
Biden's not there yet and I don't see Kerry. Do they plan grand entrances?
Lugar giving a good opening so far.
So DiFi supports Condi?

Could you imagine the anxiety levels of having that many cameras surrounding you snapping pictures? Jeeze, Dr. Rice is one strong woman.
FYI, ED said yesterday that Bill Clinton would be perfect for SecGen of the UN. Feh.
Have you seen Kerry yet? I had to fix a contact lens.
It was really a slam at Little Rock - capital of a state, and larger city and on a major interstate. College Station is not on the way to anywhere, unless you are going to Bryan.
Does Kerry even know his way to Cap Hill?...how many time has he been there in a year?
It's customary at a confirmation hearing for a Senator from the homestate to support the nominee, I believe. This might be interesting.
She looks like a million bucks and will wipe the floor with Biden.
Richard Lugar is a dynamic, exciting speaker. He has me riveted to the ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
