Democrats Slam Rice, But Senate Approval Assured

By Vicki Allen

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of Senate Democrats opposing the nomination of Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) as U.S. secretary of state on Tuesday accused her of deceiving Congress and called her an architect of blunders in the Iraq (news - web sites) war.

But Republicans, jumping to Rice's defense, said Democrats were grandstanding since Rice was certain to be confirmed in the post by a full Senate vote on Wednesday.

OK, so Republicans "jump to Rice's defense" NOT by being able to counter that she didn't deceive Congress and wasn't an "architect of blunders," but can only say they (Republicans) will confirm her anyway so any objections to her from others (Democrats) is "grandstanding."

What a vote of confidence in your side's appointment! Way to give the American People the best we can get.

1. They can call it whatever they want.

Bear in mind they call gutting our forests, the "healthy forests" initiative. They bullshit everything. We're in the right. Condi is a disgrace, as is the whole administration. Its time to start "grandstanding."
