But you mentioned Condi Rice.

Ah, the unfinished thought was along the lines of ...

"You think Condi Rice is a superstar?

Get a load of Michelle Malkin."

Appears to have lost it's zing in the translation, as you weren't the first one with whom it missed the mark.

Wasn't a jab at Condi, I think she's dynamite. I have for a while, a friend of mine was a professor at Stanford while she was there, and he always spoke highly of her.

I happen to to think that, like Condi, Michelle could trump a lot of the demagoguery often hurled at the GOP.

Ok. My thought is that Bush should avoid appointing anyone who is a firebrand on this issue. It requires the kind of sophistication and nuance that would enrage you probably. And of course, unless there are employer sanctions, which won't happen, rooting out and stopping illegals is a largely futile exercise except at the margin.
