Rice says she won't give Clinton too much advice for new role
Source: AP

LONDON – Happily contemplating another woman as the top U.S. diplomat, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday she will offer advice, privately, and then get out of the way.

"She won't — and you won't — hear from me again," Rice said on the day President-elect Barack Obama named Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the next secretary of state.

4. Talk about damning with faint praise..
"Rice briefed Clinton on the aftermath of a terrorist rampage in India that has forced Rice to rearrange what had been planned as a low-stress European valedictory for a diplomat much better liked in European capitals than her boss."

Well yeah, because just about anyone is liked better than her boss.

5. Here's some advice that you and your people completely ignored from the Clinton administration...
BIN LADEN WILL BE YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN!

You didn't listen. And we were attacked.

24. The wench never got started.
Without a doubt, the most worthless Sec. of State in my lifetime. Serving a criminal administration.

Pathetic is the only word that comes to mind. What could she possibly say to help Clinton......"ah, do something, anything. Wish I had."

22. I truly hope she will be in a position to give advice to...
the poor janitor who will be in charge of cleaning the toilet bowl of her International Court prison cell one day...

Absent that opportunity for real Justice in this world, I truly don't know who migth ever need to be submitted to such a war-criminal ignoramus's advice.

28. Ta-Ta, Condi. Don't come back now, ya hear?
That's another member of the Bush regime I'll be glad to see GO!

OMG, y'all. I can almost see the finish line. Why is time inching by so slowly? When it January 20th ever going to get here? This has to have been the slowest 8 years in recorded history. It has to have been the slowest. Somebody call Guinness Book of World Records. I'm sure we have a record here.

30. A double up even
Quite obvious the producers of the article wanted to introduce some backward sexist drivel yet even more striking was Condi's assumption that her and Hilary were so similar because of being the same sex that no advice was needed. It's quite obvious that Condi's only real mission working in State was to rustle the scrub brush every once in while. Shopping for the latest in high priced chic shoes must have been one of her better moments

32. Well, if national security is a genuine concern, then surely offering more advice is better?
Or is she avoiding what many are forced to do in the corporate sect: Train their replacements? :D

33. FLAME SUIT ON!!!
i have to cut condi some slack. as president obama said yesterday, he is the one in charge. dubyafuck didn't want anyone's advice and if she had a good idea, he probably just said, "hellva job condi, now change into that stormtrooper costume and lock the door!"

the worst thing about this state department was the chimp in chief, a intelligently bankrupt human!

36. Gotaa hand it to her, she was slick by staying out of Bush's government bullshit and do piano
recitals instead - I must go with Donald Trump about Rice on this one - " Trump several months back asks; "what has she done", name one piece of work she's done to better the US. "I would have fired her last year"...

37. one would have to actually do their job in order to give advice about it.
stick to the piano ricechecks, that is at least something you can give advice about.

Hmmm, perhaps a future as a piano teacher would best suit her.
