Another Condi Screw-Up

[SoDesuKa]

President Bush's inept response to the disaster in Asia gave America a public relations black eye. Instead of looking generous and kind-hearted, America looks petty and selfish.

Whose job is it to worry about appearances? Unquestionably, it's the State Department. Incoming Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who vacations with Bush at the Crawford ranch, should have alerted the president to the repercussions of a slow or inadequate response. But just as in August 2001 when she underestimated the significance of reports indicating an impending attack, Rice underestimated the need for an immediate presidential response to the disaster.

Rice is a big-time screw-up. Out of her depth as National Security Adviser, she's being booted upstairs to a position of greater responsibility. If the past week is any indication, her performance as head of the State Department will be equally dismal.

1. Haven't heard from Kindasleazy lately.

Nice to know she's dependable as ever.

[Erika]

4. I hear she's seeing Mushroom Clouds again

But she has to wait for enough troops to exist to reveal them. They didn't name an oil tanker after her for nothing. What a sham Bush and his cabinet has made of the U.S. Government.

[Bouncy Ball]

2. "I think it said 'bin Laden determined to attack within the US'"

Yep, she's at her same competence level to be sure.

3. * has the typical smarts of a failed businessman, no good at your job?

PROMOTE THEM!! Condoliar is the single most incompetent person I have ever seen in government in my entire life. Promoting his least talented moron is not surprising however...

5. Fair or not, I picture Condi out shopping for --

-- a new wardrobe for her new job.

She is out of her league and then some.

[driver8]

6. What the hell does she do all day?

Besides following Shrubya around like a puppy dog, I mean. I keep hearing how intelligent this woman is, but it sounds to me that she doesn't have enough sense to come in out of the rain!!

Oh, she will be a big asset as Secretary of State. I think the only country she can find on a map is Russia.

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. I bet since they broke up the USSR

that she can't even find Russia any more.

7. I'm happy she has more responsiblity now. It will increase the chances

that Chimpy will make more disastrous foreign policy mistakes like Iraq. Not that I'm happy for all those caught up as part of the collateral damage (soldiers, civilians, etc.). But the more BushCo screws up, the sooner people will see these neocons as the evil fools that they are. So go to it Condi, let's see you do your stuff, hehehe.

[Old and In the Way]

8. Rumsfield will be calling the shots for the new SOS.

Condi will be strictly window dressing.

[pacifictiger]

10. from what I hear cheney will call the shots

- he's already chimed in on who will be her deputy. Case closed.

9. AMERICA IS HEADED INTO VERY ROUGH SEAS AND OUR SHIPMASTERS ARE ABOUT TO

CREATE SEVERAL DEADLY TSUNAMIS IN THEIR QUEST TO OWN THE WORLD AND BRING ON THE RAPTURE. (WHAT AN UNDERTOW OF FRUSTRATED SEXUAL QUEST! IF ONLY THEY COULD BE RAPTURED SEXUALLY THEY MIGHT LEAVE THE REST OF THE WORLD OUT OF THEIR UNHAPPY PURSUIT).

[DoYouEverWonder]

12. I just wish the Rapture would hurry up and come

and get these assholes out of here. They've made such a mess of the place, it will take us decades to get things back in order again.
