Is Condoleeza Rice stupid? Or incompetent? Or just plain evil?
http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/16-08-2008/106114-condoleezaricestupid-0

Has the US Secretary of State got her cassette stuck? For a week now she has been reiterating the same phrase “Russian forces must leave Georgia now” and for a week now the world has been informed of Georgian war crimes against Russians in Ossetia. The war crimes happened, the Russians call the shots now, Ms. Rice. Like it or lump it.


Is Condoleeza Rice stupid? OK her boss is, we all know that and that’s why nobody pays any attention to what he says or if they do, it is to have a good laugh at how such an imbecile could supposedly rule the roost in Washington (when everyone knows it is Cheney and his energy and arms lobbies). So Bush gets a discount, like the uncle that farts at family dinners, like the retarded nephew who belches swearwords after his third litre of Coke, like the simpleton that sits outside the church on Sundays begging for money informing everyone that he is an astronaut on Thursday afternoons.

Is Condoleeza Rice stupid? She claims to be a Russian expert but her command of the language was recently exposed as being basic/elementary level on a Russian radio programme, just as her grasp of what is going on in Russia today seems beneath the informed blogger level.

Is Condoleeza Rice stupid? How can this female purport to broker events between an evil regime in Tblisi supported by her own evil regime in Washington, and Russia, while not mentioning one single time the war crimes committed by Georgia against Russian peacekeepers and civilians?
more...


She is very stupid as well as Cheney and Bush

4. I think her priorities are skewed, at least. Loyalty to the Bushco doctrine above all,
which was rampant in this Administration for the last - it seems like 100 - 7 years. And she has passed herself off as a "Russian specialist" but I sure don't see any results. These guys seem all resume and no results. Or in the case of George, all hat and no cattle.

A sorry seven years it has been.

31. "all resume and no results"---I don't think being a bigwig at a university means you've
got a great resume for being Sec. of State. :crazy:

7. She's not stupid, she survived grad school
but has since risen to her level of incompetence in every position she has held since.

For an expert on Cold War foreign policy, her publishing history is thin, to say the very least. She didn't have a good reputation dealing with personnel issues at her university jobs. She certainly hasn't bothered to look beyond the official right wing cant trying to revive the Cold War, either through hoping it will make her somehow relevant again or through sheer willful ignorance.

She is reputedly a fine pianist. Perhaps she should have stuck to that.

10. I really think the problem is that Shrub has told her what she can and can't
do and say. She is one of the most loyal of his cabinet, and I don't think she's willing to tell him he's wrong!

11. Oh, I think she's being told, alright--
but I doubt Shrub has the brains to figure it out. Somebody else is writing her scripts for her. Somebody close to Cheney.

13. I've always said I envision her in meetings
furiously taking notes on a steno pad on what she is supposed to say. And that's what we hear.

12. She has been corrupted with money and power.
All this talk about wanted to return to the life of an academic, it BS. I worked at a large and prestigious university at one time but believe me, although the faculty had a nice middle class life, none of their wives shopped in the stores she does regularly unless there was inheritance money in the family to begin with. As a matter of fact, I think there was only one professor, a physicist, who had a mansion in Bel Air, servants, and a garage full of expensive cars because he came from a wealthy family. He stood out like a purple thumb among the other academics who were of more modest means.

18. I think she is really really smart, but she needs to be brilliant to figure out
all this crap.

George Bush picked her for her ability to dumb things down for his comprehension level. That doesn't encourage the skills needed to negotiate through the mine field of international diplomacy.

She's trying the best she can. Unfortunately, she simply isn't what we need.

23. She does a HORRIBLE job of lying!
Her lies have been transparent, often exposed by facts brought to light before she lied! An example: Her statement in Congress about not being able to anticipate that someone would use planes crashing into buildings as weapons.

She simply lacks intelligence if she cannot lie better than that! I really do think she is dumb.

25. Well, Duh! Yeah, she's stupid
Isn't it stupid to be part of the Bush administration or part of the mindset of waging war on terrorism? That's like waging war on pacifism or antagonism, or spiritualism.

Just because they're in power and are calling the shots doesn't mean they're not stupid. Anyone with some smarts knows we better address global warming, or that launching war has consequences that backfire.

She doesn't have a clue that she speaks for a country that has committed major crimes against humanity because in her limited thinking nothing the US does can be wrong. Even if the US does identical things to the countries it's criticizing it's still OK simply because it's the US doing it.

That's as stupid as one can be
