<snip> It was the first time the chesty defense czar — who had tried to freeze out the softies at State, which the Pentagon sneeringly refers to as "the Department of Nice" — had been downgraded by the president and outmaneuvered by a colleague.

"And because he is a cantankerous egomaniac," one longtime Rummy watcher said, "he compounded his own problems by acknowledging it in public, further undermining his own stature."

President Bush clearly realizes that Mr. Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz have gotten him into a fine mess. He wants his trusted Mother Hen, as he calls Condi, the woman who probably spends as much time with him as Laura — weekends at Camp David, vacations at the ranch, workouts at the gym — to make it all better. This will be the first time Ms. Rice, a Soviet expert who has functioned mostly so far as First Chum, will have her reputation on the line.





bush* is expecting his "Mother Hen" to pull his ass out of the frying pan called Iraq. It ain't gonna happen! LOL

1. You know

I am beginning to question the relationship between chimpy and mother hen. Anyone else? They spend way too much time together IMHO.

2. Did not care at all for this column

She--like others--gives Condi way too much credit--they act as if this bitch has a brain!

Why does she still have a job after 9-11??????????????

4. Exactly! "Why does she still have a job after 9-11??????????????"

My guess is because we.. LIVE IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE!

10. I'm with you there.....

I think Condi is WAAAAAAAY overrated. She is like some talking textbook who knows nothing about the real world. And she doesn't even do a good job of lying. The last time I saw her on MTP it was so obvious she was lying.

3. "condaleezavaldez" is a lyin' murdering "darth vader".

who needs to worry about pullin' her own ass out of the fire.

We'll see how this goes.

5. I think that the bush*/Condi relationship is very strange. Is she like

his 2nd mother or maybe even 2nd wife?? Why do they spend so much time together??

7. MoonAndSun! they probably have some intertwining dark

Planets that jell well together. I know I can say that to you without getting a .."huh?" :)

9. It would be interesting to see how "their aspects" intersect.

:hi:

6. The disgusting thing is that even when these idiots lose thier jobs

in 2004--they'll be hired to some lucratives positions in 2005.

Life sucks.

8. Yip! It's all about the tainted benjamins with them... thugs without

conscience.
