Has this been done before? The search didnt show it.

Everyone knows by now that Condoleeza Rice is smarter than you. She speaks 4 languages, is an expert figure skater, a classically trained pianist, started college at age 15 and had her PhD in International Relations by age 26.

But how has this helped her be National Security Advisor? She was on the job for 9 months before the attacks of Sep. 11, during which she was given a memo entitled 'Bin Laden determined to attack within the United States'. And her job title is National Security Advisor. Then she followed this up by being a major supporter of attacking Iraq, you know, because they had weapons of mass destruction. These weapons being an imminent threat to our National Security. Regardless of politics, I do not know how you can spin her job performance in a way that doesnt get to fact that she really fucked up. How is it that when you are National Security Advisor and you completely fuck up National Security you are not only allowed to keep your job, you are actually promoted at the next possible opening? Why isn't there a bigger outcry over this, that this person is now 'America's face to the world'? Will the rest of the world see us as even bigger underachieving fuckups now?

it's the double "z" that threw it.


Crap again.

You can be brilliant and dead wrong.

Crap. A complete waste. Misapplied Genius is exactly correct. And it's the same with all of them. They could have had a government with the intelligence of Dr. Rice, the integrity of Colin Powell, the professed quasi-libertarianism of John Ashcroft, the managerial skill of Don Rumsfeld, the focus of Dick Cheney, and the alleged charm of George Bush. Instead we got the charm of Dick Cheney, the integrity of Condi Rice, the actual quasi-fascism of John Ashcroft, the managerial skill of Colin Powell, the focus of Don Rumsfeld, and the intelligence of George Bush.

And it's just going to get worse.

"Genius" implies to me both intellectual firepower and the ability to use such firepower to develop creative and productive solutions to meaningful problems. "Genius" also implies to me a level of personal courage that allows that person to arrive at decisions and stick by them regardless of personal and political consequence.

Ms. Rice is an utter failure as a person, politician and leader. She not only fails to find solutions, but her decisions, actions and inaction create serious problems for the world (i.e., real people). People die because of her. Therefore, whether or not she is an academic intellect is of no importance to me. I'd rather have a retarded chimp throwing darts at a dartboard of policy decision choices than have this beholden little nitwit spend another day in service to this great nation. Hell, I'll bet Richard Daley couldn't do long division, and he barely speaks English, but I'd take him over Ms. Rice in one of Hizzoner's skipped heartbeats.

Furthermore, whether or not she has ascended to a position of incredible authority is of no importance. There are many ways to end up in a role, but what you do in that role once you get there is the test.

Here's my advice to Ms. Rice: Resign, go to into academia, write your bad and inconsequential policy pieces, and get it over with already, you awful little woman.

Yet another endorsement for the obliteration of Stanford University.

Anyone else think she and W are fucking?

No, unless you just forgot to type "everything up" or "the world" or something at the end of that sentence. The internet rumors that grow out of her "my husb..." statement are purest crapola. Funny to imagine, sure, but I'd be amazed to find even a lick of truth to 'em.

What the back of our minds do is often important regardless of what our bodies are doing, especially when we are National Security Advisor or Secretary of State of the world's only superpower. No reason for scandal, sure, but reason to rest assured your administration’s an incestuous bastion of evil.
