Condi's French Twist
By MAUREEN DOWD

....... Keith Richburg reported in The Washington Post that the Bushies ensured that Condi's appearance at the elite Institute of Political Sciences was more sheep pen than lion's den. "Only a handful of the school's 5,500 students were allowed near the auditorium where Rice spoke," he wrote, "and the initial questions were vetted in advance by the school and the State Department."

The article said Benjamin Barnier, the son of Foreign Minister Michel Barnier, asked the first question, about the possibility of a theocratic government in Iraq. But the real question he wanted to ask was vetoed after he submitted it to the school on Monday. It was: "George Bush is not particularly well perceived in the world, particularly in the Middle East. Can you do something to change that?"

Surely, the "princess warrior" and "Madame Hawk," as she has been dubbed in France, could have handled that one.

But Bush officials prefer to write the script, or "create their own reality," as one Bushie put it, whenever they can. Besides the W.M.D. scare, there was the Kabuki "Ask President Bush" campaign sessions where voters had to take written pledges of support before they were allowed in, and the micromanaged town hall debates, where Bush strategists would not allow truly undecided voters to ask W. questions. And don't forget the administration's payments to conservative "journalists" to sell programs they would have promoted anyway.......

"....skip

The Saudis, who obviously picked up a few tips from the Bushies about how to suppress the vote, claimed that they didn't have enough voting booths for women.

....skip"

Why would that be an excuse. Every woman in Saudi Arabia has her own personal "voting booth"!

Condi is nothing but a bush whore

4. I'm puzzled by the other countries going along with this shit

The world at large KNOWS Bush is probably the most hated living person at this time. Why do they kowtow to the demands of these warmongers? Politeness?

Hey, you want to speak here, we let everybody in and they ask whatever questions they want, otherwise, find some place else to speak.

The world community needs to stand up to these thugs. They don't care about their own countrymen here or any other "plain citizens" elsewhere in the world. It's gonna take GOVERNMENTS to put them in their place.

5. Who is the bigger whore, Whoreen or Rice A Phony?

No matter what that whore writes, my son's blood is on her hands and she'll never wash it off. Dowd lied any lie to put these Nazis into power.

6. Condiliar hasn't been dubbed "Madame Hawk" in France.

I don't know where Mrs Dowd has seen that
