Democrats upset over Rice's speaking tour Claim it's inappropriate use of her office National security adviser appears in contested states TERENCE HUNT ASSOCIATED PRESS Oct. 21, 2004. 01:00 AM WASHINGTON—Condoleezza Rice, the White House national security adviser, is giving a flurry of speeches in political battleground states in the closing days of the campaign, bringing allegations from Senator John Kerry's camp that she is injecting herself into the U.S. presidential race. "George Bush will go to any length to cling to power, even if it means diverting his national security adviser from doing her job," Senator John Edwards, Kerry's running...

American National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice has been named the most powerful woman in the world. The US President's right hand woman topped a list including politicians, royalty and showbiz names. Second in the Forbes rundown was China's vice-premier Wu Li with Sonia Gandhi, president of India's Congress Party. George Bush's wife saw her role as America's First Lady propel her to fourth with her predecessor Senator Hilary Clinton next. In sixth and seventh respectively were American supreme court justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Ginsburg. Indonesia's president Megawati Sukarnoputri was eighth, president of the Philippines Gloria Arroyo at nine...

NAACP: Nonpartisan Branch of the Democratic Party By Andrew L. Jaffee, July 16, 2004 Home   Search   Forum   Terms NAACP Chairman Julian Bond claims his organization is “nonpartisan” while at the same time using vitriolic rhetoric to attack the Bush administration. Why would President Bush wish to speak before the NAACP after the way in which they’ve treated him? Some claim Bush should swallow his pride and speak before the group in the interest of “outreach.” I would argue that Bush has already engaged in more outreach than any other administration in U.S. history: 2001: President George W. Bush appoints: Condoleezza Rice, Assistant...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Some people are saying the way Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice are portrayed in an ad for the new "Stepford Wives" film is distasteful, even outrageous. 'Stepford Wives' Ad Shows Hillary, Condoleezza In Strange Light The spot shows an image of Rice made to look nude from the waist up, and a picture of Clinton that morphs into what looks like a cookie-baking Stepford wife. The pictures move across the screen very quickly, but they caught the eye of a Kansas City woman, who recorded the spot to make sure of what she was seeing. Becky...

Condoleezza Rice political cartoon.Apr. 10, 2004... Getting it right Editorial column by Roger Wm. Hughes A majority of Americans now say according to a recent poll that the Bush Administration could have done more to have stopped the 9/11 terrorist attacks and that the cost of the war in Iraq is not worth it. Troubling news for the Republic. One of the long held views that seems to be true is that democracies, even those tempered by being a Republic, are slow to act and go to war. This is true even when they need to do so to protect...

Testimony Provides Breath of Racial Reality for TV By ALESSANDRA STANLEY here was absolutely nothing in Condoleezza Rice's neutral-toned suit, primly folded hands or calm demeanor to draw attention to her sex or race. Her answers, guarded, prosaic and a bit pedantic, were typical of any high-level Washington official. But the last time the major networks interrupted regular programming to provide live coverage of a black woman testifying under oath in Washington was years ago when Anita Hill spoke out against Clarence Thomas in 1991. And at least one former senator intent on confronting Ms. Rice seemed sensitive to her...

US national security adviser Condoleezza Rice was cool in the face of aggressive questioning from Democratic members of the commission investigating the attacks of 11 September. The White House had resisted calls for her to appear before the commission, but President George Bush finally relented under increasing political pressure both from his Democratic opponents and members of his own party. Many in Washington wondered whether her testimony would be an anti-climax. It was preceded by the fight over her appearance and by her numerous press appearances to defend the White House in the face of stinging criticisms from former counter-terrorism...

Rice testifies before 9/11 Commission [Transcript of Rice’s testimony at the NY Times.]Report by Roger Wm. Hughes... National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice testified before the 9/11 Commission after the White House had worked out the difficulties of preserving the issue of "separation of powers." Her testimony was controlled, in charge and solid as a rock. She also placed doubts on Richard Clarke’s testimony. One large area of conflict between Rice and Clarke came towards the end of her testimony, when Rice was asked as to why Clarke did not brief the President as Clarke says he requested: RICE: ......

A Washington Post insider, over the weekend on the syndicated Inside Washington show, discounted the relevance of a Thursday front page Washington Post story, about how a speech on threats in the world that National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was scheduled to deliver on September 11, 2001, focused "largely on missile defense, not terrorism from Islamic radicals." Colbert King, a liberal who is the Deputy Editor of the Washington Post's editorial page and a weekly op-ed page columnist, demurred from defending the article. "I cannot with a straight face," he admitted. He acknowledged: "It was not the strongest story, although...

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) -- National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice will go before the federal panel reviewing the Sept. 11 attacks next Thursday.</p> <p>Rice will testify under oath for about 21/2 hours, with much of the questioning expected to focus on what outgoing Clinton officials told her about the al-Qaida threat and her response afterward.</p>

Condoleezza Rice Date of birth: November 14, 1954 Hometown: Birmingham, Alabama The girl next door: “I always say to [the President], ‘This is what I think, but let me tell you what the others think.’ The key is to not take advantage of the fact that I live a few doors down from the Oval Office.” Where you’ve seen her: Lighting up the small screen and the press in her current role as President George W. Bush’s sassy national security adviser. Look for her soon, when she will be making her hotly anticipated debut before the 9/11 commission.

Dubya and Condi are quite the dynamic duo, IMHO

The Bush Administration reverses itself. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice will break precedent and testify publicly under oath before the 911 Commission. And if any of you saw the hatchet job Ted Koppel did tonight on Bush (using references to Paul O'Neill as further "proof" of Bush's fixation on Iraq/Saddam), I can only say... BRING IT ON, Condi!!!

<p>WASHINGTON -- It is only March but the 2004 Chutzpah of the Year Award can be safely given out. It goes to Richard Clarke, now making himself famous by blaming the Bush administration for 9/11 -- after Clarke had spent eight years in charge of counterterrorism for a Clinton administration that did nothing.</p>

Condoleezza Rice is a "true illiterate," said a patronizing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. This Marxist thug added that he had asked his comrade Cuban dictator Fidel Castro to mail America’s National Security Advisor samples of Cuban books now being used to teach Venezuelan children literacy to “see if she learns to respect the dignity of the people and learns a bit about us." Apparently President Chavez is both a racist and a puny macho sexist to make such stupid remarks. His stunted manhood is threatened by criticism from this powerful woman. Condoleezza Rice, who recently called on Chavez to accept...

Happy New Year's Eve to all at Free Republic!!! Make your predictions for 2004. Good Luck!!!

NAACP Chairman Julian Bond said over the weekend that he agreed with political cartoonist Aaron McGruder's characterization of National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice as "a murderer."
