Thanks a LOT, Condi. Now I'll never see a U.S. woman president.
As the first woman to hold the position of National Security Adviser, you needed to be BETTER than the men. There are already a whole lot of Americans who hold stereotypes about women when it comes to defending the country and you've now reinforced their thinking. You needed to be more competent, more able, and more commanding. Now, thanks to your incompetence, I'll probably never see a U.S. woman president in my lifetime.

2. Well....
Hopefully people will realize that most women are not as stupid or incompetent as Condelezza Rice.

4. And perhaps, given Bush's performance,
the US should never again have a male president.

7. I'm all there.
But that's not the way that many people will see it. Richard Clarke said, "If Condoleeza Rice had been doing her job..."

9. Meatballs attract meatballs folks...
...take George W Bush, pretend that he is president, give him authority to select a cabinet of advisers and look what we ended up with. Where does a dead fish rot first? That's correct, in the head. Bush has to go and so do all of his flunkies!:hurts:

10. I'm listening to CNN in the other room.....
They're about to run a story entitled, "Are women destined to sabotage their careers?" Hmmm. I wonder what the implication is there?

12. Think she'll be content to wait til
2012? If Kerry wins a second term in '08, that might be her first shot at it. Unless they fenagle a way to get her on the ticket some time before then.

I'd sure as hell vote for her. :toast:

14. I don't think there will be another Republican
president for a long, long time. So Kerry will win a second term in 2008.

16. She wasn't qualified for the job
She reads him fairytales almost as good as Laura does, so he picked her.

17. she was a token appointment
black (superficially)

and female (sort of)

Her oil industry background proved her wilingness to sell out the truth for money.

those were the only credentials required.
