Murdoch brings in Bush adviser
Guardian

The US national security adviser Condoleezza Rice is to address the News Corporation thinktank involving Rupert Murdoch's most senior newspaper executives from the UK, US and Australia.

She will will deliver her speech by satellite at the invitation of Mr Murdoch's Fox operation, which includes Fox News which has been hugely supportive of George Bush and achieved notoriety in the UK during the Iraq war for its ultra-patriotic reporting.

Although she is not there in person, the presence of Ms Rice underlines the importance of Rupert Murdoch's news operations to the Bush administration, which may face growing criticism that it led the country into war on false pretences ahead of November's presidential election.

The conference, hosted by Mr Murdoch's eldest son Lachlan, has two central themes - politics and showbusiness - and will be attended by other news operations including the New York Post and his Australian papers, including the Telegraph.

when it's closer to the election.. He was the one who kept calling * during the results phase(JE)..and even called it for his cousin...
Billy Bush is doing a dumb tv show I think, and he has a blog..so he would be available..

Odd how Condi is always so "available" to some people, yet so elusive to the 911 commission..:)

Billy Bush is a real lesson in genetics isn't he? What a fucktard.
