11/15 If Rice gets the Secretary of State position, it will be the one where
she can do the least damage. Dubya really wants to keep her on, but
my guess is she's gonna get out.
\_ oh well, the freepers are saying Peter Jennings just scooped Condi
for State. It would be funny if Rice said, "hey, I said I was
still THINKING about it" -op
\_ Of what alternatives is this "the one where she can do the
least damage"? As National Security Advisor, her only
power was her (apparently considerable) influence on Bush.
Presumably, Bush will still listen to her whatever her
title is, so wouldn't giving her a position with actual
executive powers to boot strictly *increase* the amount of
damage she can do?
\_ Why do you guys particularly hate Rice? Is this just general
hatred of Bush and neocon wingnuts in general, or is there
something particularly evil about Rice? She seems to me to
be one of the less crazy members of the first term Bush
administration (although that's not saying much.)
\_ Who said anything about hating Rice?
She just strikes me as having been incompetent in her role
in Dubya term 1.
\_ I personlly don't hate Rice at all. Of all the members of
Bush's inner circle, I think she is the most reasonable.
I won't go on about the rest. She deserves Secretary
of State. -liberal
\_ Is Condoleeza Rice a perfect example of why Stanford is evil? |
