1. is that recognizing her acting over the last 8 years

pretending she cared and knew what she was doing?


and yes, I am pissed, she doesn't deserve any position other than sweeping floors at some federal prison.

4. a DUzy fersure!

5. I shake my head with disgust on this

its time for the democratic party to push as far to the left as Bush took us to the right.

[hootinholler]

26. Don't fergit her Playin teh Pianner fer the queen!

:grr:

Since when does any US diplomat let alone the Sec of State perform on command?

2. our infrastructure will be thick with neocons for years to come

unless we prosecute their leaders, like Ms. Rice, for the war crimes and crimes against humanity that they've committed in their radical 8-year reign.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

7. Yep, which is why we need to be getting rid of them, NOT being inclusive and adding more! nt

19. You do realize that it is the current president making these appointments

...don't you?

[samplegirl]

11. Your right and we must find a way

to stop this. I voted for change and change is what I want to see.

[samplegirl]

12. Well its time for Obama to push this country as far to left

as Bush pushed it to the right. It's time for all neocons to go!!!

[MADem]

3. Well, is there a paycheck that goes with that gig?

Follow the money!

6. "No one could ever have imagined..." - Condi (R)

"...that a pathetic Republicon FAIL freak Auntie Tomasina corporate butt kisser like me, who lied about 9/11, and republicon TORTURE orgasms, and a bunch of other heinous occult crap, would be rewarded by Obama. Smirk."

10. I couldn't agree more!

8. Rice is a serious musician. I wish she'd had this post rather than SoS. nt

[spiritual_gunfighter]

14. I hope she doesn't become the commish of the NFL

like she wants to be. She will ruin that too.

[Captain Hilts]

15. Rumors of her working for the 49ers seem to have died. nt

[Spectral Music]

17. Mookie, wasn't she a concert level pianist?

I remember hearing that.

[Captain Hilts]

24. Yes, and she plays/practices regularly with a classical combo of some kind...

so, she is a serious musician.

I'll give her some dap for that, but that's about it!

[petronius]

21. Right, I don't see the problem here. She's already and ex officio member of this

board IIRC, and she has the background for this. There may be people out there who are technically more qualified, but if it's customary for the outoing president to 'reward' his loyalists this sounds like a pretty harmless way to do it...

[Captain Hilts]

25. Right, and even Barbra Streisand acted 'nice' with GWB, for the KC honors.

Everybody acts like grown-ups.

A nice change of pace here in DC.

9. I would just make life so

miserable for all these people in their positions that they end up quiting. You give them no authority and everyday you meet them you rip them a new one. You also let the underlings blow them off and spit in their face and you just laugh. They deserve nothing less.

[Robb]

13. Good. Keep them all in the public eye.

Give them all posts they have to surface for once in awhile.

Easier to prosecute that way. :evilgrin:

[colorado thinker]

16. Where did you get this information?

Do you have a link? Has this been confirmed?

Thanks.

18. What the everloving fuck?

The only position these people deserve is a seat in the electric chair

[slackmaster]

23. I have plenty of more important things to concern myself with

But thanks for trying to help me figure out how I should feel about things.

[Mari333]

27. well, another program to boycott

just like i wont buy the wsj because of rove. oh well. will these criminals be prosecuted? ever? i doubt it.
