Am I the only one who thinks Condi for SecState is a great idea?!?

[elperromagico]

After all, she's been National Security Advisor for four years. And that national security advice she gave Bush on 9/10 was cracker-jack shit. Her memo-reading skills are on a par with the great memo-readers of the past - whose names elude me at the moment.

And I hear she can type 115 wpm. Powell could only type 32 wpm, and he used the hunt and peck method. What kind of secretary is that?

Am I wrong? Huh? Huh? Show me how I'm wrong. :shrug:

[ewagner]

1. Per the Daily Show

we'll have a Secretary of State who actually IS a Secretary.......

[Catholic Sensation]

2. quite knowledgeable about football too

and football is the world's sport!

[elperromagico]

5. Indeed. All the people of the world love to play football.

Yep, they love tossin' that pigskin around...

Wait, what's that you say? That's not what they call football overseas? Well, uhh... Hmm...

Ehh, fuck 'em then.

[Catholic Sensation]

9. precisely

fuck the world

[JohnKleeb]

11. ahh yes she is

[LiberalAndProud]

3. I heard she doesn't take short hand. And she gets pissed when asked to

fetch coffee.

[Nag Champa]

4. Am I the only one who thinks shrub has the fever?

Afterall, Laura doesn't strike me as the type who lights up the night.

And Condi does spend an aweful lot of time "weekending" with POTUS.

[LiberalAndProud]

6. Where is Linda Tripp when you need her?

[regnaD kciN]

16. ...and, of course...

...there was the time when she slipped up in public and said, "...as I was saying to my husband...I mean, as I was saying to President Bush..."

:wow:

The bottom line is that Condi may be ideal for Secretary. She can type, file, and take dictation. She is even rumored to provide the extra "personal services" for her boss that secretaries to the rich and powerful sometimes are expected to perform.

:evilgrin:

[WoodrowFan]

28. extra services/?

making coffee????

[NickB79]

37. LOL, take "dic-tation"

Yes, yes she can.

[Paul Hood]

7. I think it shows a failure of imagination.

Alan Keyes needs a job and he has ambassadorial experience.:crazy:

[elperromagico]

10. Ambassador Keyes has an important meeting with Air Marshall Carlin.

He hasn't got time to do secretarial work.

[FizzFuzz]

35. and after that its time for a consult with Fire Marshal Bill!!!!!!!

AHAHAHAH!!!!!

[elperromagico]

8. Did I mention that she knows that Brazil has black people?

Huh? Huh? I'm pretty impressed that a rich white woman like Ms. Rice would know something like that...

[frogbison]

15. Now, THAT is an argument

against her appointment. Good job!! I remember being appalled at her comments.

[Old and In the Way]

12. She makes a wicked pot of coffee.....

that will be handy in Rumsfield's office...

[frogbison]

14. better ways to express displeasure.

Some of you folks' sexism is pretty obvious. She makes a wicked pot of coffee, indeed!

[Old and In the Way]

18. Who made you the board PC nanny?

Why don't you start a thread and tell us what is and is not acceptable "sexist" terminology we can use here? That way, we can be sure not to offend your "sexist" sensitivities.

[SilverSeraphim]

30. As I recall

"sexist" remarks are against board rules...

[Old and In the Way]

32. Please do explain how making coffee is sexist?

I'll make a pot of coffee whilst you answer that.

[SilverSeraphim]

33. Back in the day...

Many secretaries were treated as if they were only good for making coffee

[Old and In the Way]

36. True.....I'll bet Condi would make a terriffic secretary

Just not Secretary of State. Someone who failed to do her job that led to the deaths of 3,000 Americans on 9/11 maybe shouldn't even be trusted with making coffee.

[Dem_Loyalist]

13. A successful African American female

THAT scares people.

[regnaD kciN]

17. Well, as MeatLoaf once sang...

A successful African American female

..."two out of three ain't bad."

:evilgrin:

[Dem_Loyalist]

29. Shes more successful

Than you or me.

[NickB79]

38. That's one messed-up definition of success

If I sold my soul to the devil to rule the world, does that make me successful, or just stupid? Condi sold out to Bush, who is taking us down with him. Her "success" includes allowing 3000 Americans to die on 9/11 and 100,000 Iraqis to die in the past 1 1/2 yrs. A man eating out of a dumpster and living out of his car is more successful than she is, IMO.

[Dem_Loyalist]

39. I agree about her messed up politics but

I'm in favor of anything that gets more African Americans up front center stage. Even, or maybe especially in a bushie administration. And think about this. Joe Six pack in flyover land is going to be more receptive to people of color if they think "they're one of them". Then they'll be a lot less likely to freak when a good liberal female African American runs for or is appointed to high office. Remember how people freaked about Jocelyn Elders? This will help to get us past that racism. Just my 2 cents.

[Bozita]

19. She helped move Richard Clarke out of the front row seats prior to 9/11

His hair was on fire.

[Baja Margie]

20. I read some of her papers,

gosh this was quite awhile back, I'd have to hunt for them. It was a study on German culture after WWII. The bitch is smart, don't fool yourself.

No, she scares the shit out of me, her & Gonzalez, heh, this is the SS Guard he's bringing in.

and, speaking of Gonzalez, I hope everyone went over to Activism & Events and signed the petition re Gonzalez. Only 300 or so signatures so far, and that sucker has been there for a couple days.

We can do better because,

HELP IS NOT ON THE WAY.

Please sign it, PLEASE.

Thanks.

[Dora]

31. I heard that they're good papers, but...

they're not great. The critique that I read (was it Josh Marshall?, or perhaps a link from his blog?) seemed to argue that while the papers were competently written, the research was lazy and inaccurate, and the conclusions were flawed.

[ReadTomPaine]

21. She does have quite an impressive diastema.

Look it up ;)

RTP

[achtung_circus]

26. Supposedly one indication of a heightened libido.nt

[ET Awful]

22. Does this mean Shrub will give her a new nickname to replace Brown Sugar?

n/t

[Kellanved]

23. totally

The first thing to return to an orderful state: Hire a Secretary who can actually type, not just a pretty face.

Clear Messages were an almost forgotten school of diplomacy. Until yesterday the newspapers were writing about how much better transatlantic relations were going to be under the 2nd term. Nothing of that sort today. Grade A clear message.

[GingerSnaps]

24. OMG How dare you do this to me before I go to sleep

(Yes I'm a vampire)

Damn I have to go and change my panties now. Next time you come up with a joke like that warn someone in advance please.

:cry: :hug:

[jdots]

25. This may be the era of the woman warrior

An old sci fi plot the repukians think they can get some use out of.

[IronLionZion]

27. Shazzam jive turkey!

Condi be all up in the UN's face like Oh no you didn't, you all be beyotches fo shizzle. Gimme some of that brown sugar hon!

[Jose Diablo]

34. But can she make coffee? n/t
