Evidently Condi took the job with the provision that she didn't

[saltpoint]

have to show up to actually perform the task attendant TO the job.

Nice work if you can get it.

1. I wish more of the Cabinet would follow her lead.

Imagine how much better off we would be if none of BushCo's flunkies turned up for their jobs.

[saltpoint]

2. : )

The woman is allegedly "a Russian expert" and has decided to sit out the current crisis.

Puzzlin' evidence.

[Kutjara]

3. Her "expertise" seems a bit shaky, too, given...

...that it would seem to be a prerequisite of a "Russian Expert" that one actually speaks Russian fluently. Otherwise, how did she get her expertise: from Cliffski Notes?

[saltpoint]

6. Beats me what's up with ol' Condi.

She advanced in applied piano to a respectable point in the repertoire but then bailed out, reportedly because the young men and young women also studying had more instinctive talent or more drive.

Then she fell in with the Big Oil cartel and the Bush family, but I repeat myself.

[bronxiteforever]

10. Cliffski notes-spit my coffee out!!!

LMAO

[Graybeard]

4. She is a worthless piece of crap.

On her watch as National Security Adviser we had the worst breach of our national security in history. She should have resigned then and there! As Sec of State she has been an embarrassment.

[saltpoint]

7. Her "performance" before the 9/11 Commission, no matter what one

thought of the Commission itself, was an abomination, and her appearances before Senate Committees have been invariably sleazy.

She's a woman of some strong will but there's no There there to justify its force.

I have a very sharp and appreciate recall of John Kerry's face when he was questioning her. She shriveled before him and went into her fart-in-a-whirlwind act to dodge every question he asked, every point he made.

[SmileyRose]

5. So many shoes, so little time.

Let her shop. She's doing less damage that way.

8. mediocrity is just too lofty a goal for ANYONE in the Bush administration...

...to aspire to. Every one of them has been an abject failure-- except possibly Cheney, who is an evil genius who's actually enjoying the destruction of U.S. principles of governance.

[saltpoint]

9. Agree. When you're starting with people like Condoleezza Rice and

Harriet Miers and Michael Brown, mediocrity really is far too high to set the bar.

[SpiralHawk]

11. "No one could possibly have imagined...how bad I would be. Smirk." - Condi (R)

[saltpoint]

12. Lovely smile.

The woman just exudes warmth.

[madokie]

15. Coyote yougly

and we all know what that is all about :-)

But seriously could any of you guys out there or gals too for that matter, imagine waking up in the morning with that thing curled up in bed with you. gross'e gross'e

[lonestarnot]

13. Beavers are usually best at cutting wood with their teeth and then

dragging it someplace to make a dam. :P :hug: long time no see, where you been?

[saltpoint]

14. Hey there. Good to see you.

We've been busy. Four or five days of the week we're drinking and wenching our way through the countryside, leaving the weekends for NASCAR and Yo Yo Ma.

Hope all's well your way. We got us an election comin' up, looks like. I'm hoping for a REAL blue map.

[lonestarnot]

19. Nasty car?

Are you serious? Please say not. :scared: Cheaters are going to do their best to keep it red.

[saltpoint]

21. I was serious only about the Yo Yo Ma part.

NASCAR, no.

And also -- Emmylou Harris's new CD. It's terrific. If you have some spending money left, maybe give it a whirl.

[lonestarnot]

24. Thank God!

I already so knew! :P Emmylou doin' it is she. I saw her live her in Phoenix many years ago. My opinion of her music has never changed. I'll check it out OC. Have a wonderful day! :hug:

[saltpoint]

25. You have one yourself, a hug right back, and let's whip

McCain's sorry butt in November!

[lonestarnot]

28. taking names and kicking ass

as usual! :patriot: carry-on!

[KharmaTrain]

16. Look At The Entire "Cabinet" In the Second Term...

Anyone who had a gumption of independence or a conscience was sacked...only those who were "true believers" or toadies apply. Over at DOJ, Asscroft was getting "weak" when he didn't approve torture and illegal wiretapping...and was replaced by Gonzo...the ultimate toadie. At State, Powell, who was never on the "team" was getting a bit too "uppity" as well...expressing his reservations privately that just wouldn't be tolerated...Kindasleezy was the prefect toadie for that job...and her mission was to neuter the State Department...all the decisions would come out of the Executive (specifically the OVP) and all she had to do was look pretty and do as told.

I'm sure as far as the booooshies are concerned, Kindasleezy has done a great job. When this regime makes a mess, she is sent in front of the cameras to smile and try to "gee shucks" it away. She never had any real power or authority...and that seems to fit her just fine.

[saltpoint]

18. Yep. A glance down the roster of the second Bush administration

and you've got the entire profile.

The majority are place-setters -- still-life mediocrities -- and the few who are actually competent are darkly evil.

Let's have the election tomorrow. I'm ready.

[KharmaTrain]

23. I've Been Ready Since December 2000...

Just seems like one big, bad dream. But, sadly it isn't. The mess left behind this regime will take years and lots of sunshine to clear up. Yep, I'm ready as well...and so are many people who I speak with...not just Democrats but former Repugnicans (now self proclaimed "independents).

Sadly, I fear the worst of this regime is still ahead...the lame duck days from Nov. 5-Jan 19th...as these crooks attempt to make their getaway.

Cheers to you OC...

[Mabus]

17. She's treating her duties as seriously as Bush did when he was in TANG

But hey, as long as the checks clear, what does she care?

[paparush]

20. Meme of the entire Bush misAdministration

[saltpoint]

22. Yep. Hurricane Katrina? "Not our problem."

Putin and Georgia? "We put out a statement on that, didn't we?"

[HughMoran]

26. Known liar, Condi Rice, takes on a job she's not qualified for, fails miserably

It'll be on her tombstone.

[Mabus]

30. Here's my suggestion

Free your body and soul
Unfold your powerful wings
Climb up the highest mountains
Kick your feet up in the air.

You may live forever
Or return to this earth
Unless you feel good where you are!

If you want to know how it will look, here's a picture:


and the story from SNOPES http://www.snopes.com/photos/signs/headstone.asp

[HughMoran]

32. That'll do

:D

[City Lights]

27. Just like her boss.

We have the Peter Principle administration.

[TheCowsCameHome]

29. Hey Condi - if the shoe fits,..............

[kskiska]

31. Condi speaks Russian like Junior speaks Spanish

Wed Apr 20, 2005 at 09:50:23 AM PDT

Serial liar Condi Rice has been BUSTED. I first saw it on vitor's diary, here on DKos, which cited and quoted from a Reuters article reporting, in sum, that Condi Rice has been BUSTED on Russian radio as a hack who speaks "fluent Russian" like Bush speaks "fluent Spanish"

(snip)

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice tried out her rusty Russian in a Moscow radio interview Wednesday, only to get caught out by a question on whether she might run for president.

"Da (Yes)," Rice answered in Russian, before realizing her misunderstanding and hastily adding "Nyet" (No) -- seven times.

(snip)

"It's too complicated to answer!" Rice, in Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin, started out in English. "It is an opportunity for me to come back to Russia, a place I love very much. I love the culture and the language."
She then switched into Russian, but quickly hit trouble.

Apparently meaning to say that she would like to do her next interview in the language of her host, she chose a verb that sounded more like "to earn money" than the Russian for "to do."

33. Oh, oh, but, but they call her one of the Vulcans.

They call her that. That's all anyone needs to know.


The fact that she would be a retarded Vulcan must be ignored.

[Supersedeas]

34. when asked nicely, she might show for the piano recital--amenities and canned applause must be part

of the deal.
