Condi: "The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come on time If we just wait."

[Imagevision]

While defensive about race allegations after Katrina, Rice conceded the response could have been better.

[XanaDUer]

Huh?

:wtf:!!!!!!!!!!!

[gollygee]

1. Is this FEMA's disaster plan? Divine intervention?

*sigh*

[emulatorloo]

3. Jesus may save you, but George Bush won't

EOM

[Booster]

2. This statement by Condi almost equals her "who would have

thought...." She has got to be one of the stupidest "smart" people in the world. Everytime she opens her mouth she proves she's been hanging around Bush too long.

[FightingIrish]

4. Uh oh!

[mod mom]

What a fucking example of a Christian. Where was she while the people

of NO suffered? Out buying shoes and taking in a Broadway show. How dare she even mention this? She is truly a worthless, souless self serving nothing!

[tuvor]

5. Exploiting the beliefs of others to her advantage, nothing more.

Oh, call me cynical.

[bobbieinok]

95. she said in 1st term it was wonderful there were daily Bible readings in W

WH.......and that it was great to work in a place like that

heard or read this somewhere

possibly from same pentecostal who talked of a prayer for healing taking place when he was in Ashcroft's office......how you could FINALLY just feel God's presence in the WH and what a wonderful change that was

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. Excuse me?

Oh :puke: Nutjob!

[yy4me]

7. Been waiting 2000 years,

whats a little longer. What a stupid comment on her part. How was that comment relevant to this situation.

[MSgt213]

8. What the fuck does that mean?

[NYC]

83. It means they are waiting for Godot.

[Splatter Phoenix]

9. Because we all voted for Jesus, and not Bush, to lead our country.

What. The. Fuck.

Words fail.

[MojoXN]

10. If Jesus comes, she'd better hide under a rock. I have a feeling...

That Jesus isn't going to be pleased with her complicity in mass murder. Poor Condi... She forgot that when Jesus said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," he didn't mean kill them.

Well fuck her too!

MojoXN

[lala_rawraw]

11. Yes, Condi, the Southern man's perfect white woman (ooops...

wannabe white woman)... her father is spinning in his grave.

[theHandpuppet]

12. They've BEEN waiting, Dr. Rice

... and Jesus is late.

[Zenlitened]

13. What does that statement even mean? "On time,,, if we just wait"?

Not that I expect logic from someone who flings around the J-word to score political points.

But this is about the clumsiest use of the technique I've ever seen.

What an idiot -- on so many levels. :dunce:

[durablend]

17. Does that mean the Rapture's a'comin'?

Lemme get the :popcorn:

[kodi]

14. samuel beckett just puked in his grave

.

[gollygee]

20. Waiting For George

n/t

[deminks]

15. When bad things happen, just wait

Jeeeeeeesus is coming. That's what her husband told her.



We can all now go help the US economy by buying shoes, right Condi?
No one can imaging a hurricane hitting New Orleans, right Condi?

That request for levee repair was just a historical document, right Condi?


:sarcasm:

[MadeinOhio]

16. She's lost it. Condi is a fundie nutjob.

She is waiting for her RAPTURE days!!!!
:crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Catshrink]

22. At least she'll be ready in her $1000 shoes.

[MadeinOhio]

26. Yes she will be ready. To burn in hell with satan licking those shoes.n/t

:grr:

[lonestarnot]

18. On who's time? For shit sakes! No man knows what hour! And this is

just ridiculous! It also says to wait and watch! We are watching alright!

[MadeinOhio]

23. What the hell? What is Rice's email? I'm blasting her to resign too!!!

[Imagevision]

88. CONDI, CARLYLE WILLNOT HIRE YOU...!

http://downingstreetmemo.com/

[Garbo 2004]

19. Folks did a lot of waiting on rooftops. Was not acting faster part of the

Bush's Administration's "Send them home to Jesus" relocation plan?

The Bushies are so out of touch and tone deaf...

[Tatiana]

21. I don't think this woman knows anything about Jesus Christ.

If she did, she would realize that when her administration neglected the least among us in NO and LA, we neglected God.

[RevCheesehead]

33. Bingo.

Um, I mean, "Amen."

[starroute]

24. On time??? Whatever happened to "no man knows the hour"?

Matthew 24:36 - "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."

Now I'm not a Christian, so maybe I shouldn't judge, but isn't it just a wee bit . . . er . . . blasphemous? . . . to talk about your god as though he were a subway train?

[MojoXN]

31. "...to talk about your god as though he were a subway train?"

HA! A ha ha ha! That's the funniest thing I've seen in a month. A fucking subway train... priceless!

MojoNX

[yy4me]

25. Until I read her comment this morning, I thought that if bush, & cheney

were out of there, perhaps she would do a better jib of bailing us out of this mess that this administration has put us in. She just blew it. Why do we not have a fail-safe built into the constitution to protect us from idiots?

[Pithy Cherub]

27. Dear Condi: Jesus's Dad is running this right NOW & He's pissed!

Her shoes for Jesus's arrival were picked out while tens of thousands waited to be rescued from the Hell on Earth.

[Imagevision]

70. NOT ONE RECOMMEND? POLEEZE!!

[Rainscents]

28. "The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come on time If we just wait.""

WTF is this mean? Is she saying, "Give this administration sometime, we will make ARMAGANDA happen" Is this what she is saying?

[leesa]

48. Yes. To the Fundies who are supporting these murderers, the answer

is "Yes, they are committed to bringing the Rapture to fruition on THEIR terms". They are convinced this is all ordained by God.

[asjr]

29. She actually said that???

[jane_pippin]

30. Hey Imelda Rice, define "on time" for me, mkay.

I want to make sure I free up my calendar.

[SmokingJacket]

32. ????????????????? no words.... nt

[Joanne98]

34. The Christians are coming to Bush's aid again!

[DoYouEverWonder]

38. All of a sudden they've all found religion

Bush and even Poppy are pulling the same crap today.

W has suddenly turned into Revival Tent Preacher Man. I wonder where he stashed the snakes.

[Dunvegan]

47. Condi was probably wondering why the poor...

...and dispossessed in NOLA didn't just jump on the Streetcar Named Desire.

Tone. Deaf. Spin.

Someone must have snatched her up in Bush PR and blasted her for making bad photo ops in NYC.

Told her to get to New Orleans and do the "My People" thing...big time.

Condi, probably having never gone into a church except for a wedding, was stewing on the plane out wondering what to say when she noticed all the plebes thanking God and praising Jesus...I can see the thought bubble forming over her helmet hair: "Jesus...mumble..mumble...that's the ticket!"

So, just like George's "Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, I won't be fooled again," Condi "made up" something she thought sounded like "Black Folk Church Speak."

Tone. Deaf.

Oh...and the "Bush's Administration's 'Send them home to Jesus' relocation plan?" is a brilliant swipe, and yet uncomfortably too darn close to the reality.

[RevCheesehead]

35. Great - Condi shifts the blame on to Jesus.

Don't these assholes take responsibility for ANYTHING?

PS - Condi, even Paul gave up on the Parousia.
Mother Teresa told us that WE were the hands, the feet, the heart of Jesus.

[TrogL]

36. He's running a bit late

The original apostles claimed He was going to come within their lifetimes, not ours.

So He's running about 1900 years late.

[tom_paine]

37. Sleezy Rice = Imelda Marcos = Marie Antoinette

A filthy bunch, to be sure. I am also equally sure that they all invoked religion when confronted with their monstrous acts.

Say, did Condi's "Imelda Moment" reach Cable TV Pravda?

I'll bet it didn't. Such information is not permitted to be given such a wide audience.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

39. That's why she just had to buy new, and VERY expensive, shoes...

...after all, one can't be underdressed when meeting Jesus!

[NYC]

87. Condi must be a member of Landover Baptist.

http://www.landoverbaptist.org/

I think Betty Bowers said that Jesus appreciates it when your shoes match your purse.

[jokerman93]

40. Either our government is being run by

"Condi: "The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come on time If we just wait.""

:wtf:

Okay this is beyond outrageous. Either our government is being run by:
1) Psychotic right wing ideologues
2) The most rapacious and cynical bunch of pseudo-intellectual cultists ever to stage a government takeover.
3) We're going to be treated to a spectacular public relations stunt sometime under Karl Rove's watch.
4) All of the above?

(If anyone starts seeing "signs in the sky", don't applaud. It will just encourage them. LOL!)

[Fleshdancer]

41. I had to read the article myself...thought you were full of bs!

This is beyond ridiculous at this point.

[DemBones DemBones]

42. She said it, but look at the circumstances. She was attending church

and was asked to speak from the pulpit. So she was speaking to a group of fellow Christians in a church service, not making this comment in a press conference.

I can't believe I'm defending Condi Rice, but I don't see this as problematic. Her buying Ferragamos while people were drowning is more troubling to me. In a crisis, I think all hands should be on deck, all leaves cancelled until the crisis is resolved.

[Misunderestimator]

69. Doesn't make a difference, since the media is reporting it.

Someone in her position should always consider carefully what she says in public, no matter where that is.

I think it's a huge problem that she is in such a powerful position to sell out her fellow black Americans in such a public fashion.

[amandabeech]

71. Perhaps she should have talked about the Bible verse that goes

something like, "What you do to the least among you, you do unto me."

Leave the Rapture sermon for another day.

I certainly hope that she's not one of those who believes that the U.S. should hurry Christ's Second Coming by doing everything that the Israelis tell us to do. I support Israel's right to exist within its internationally agreed upon boundaries, but I'd hate to see our foreign policy slavishly following some of the wilder Likud fantasies.

[itzamirakul]

43. I hope the Lord Jesus

kicks her rotten ass when he gets here.

[mzmolly]

44. O.M.G.

WTF is "on time" Jesus already lived and died - he's not coming back and neither is uncle Ned.

"Nobody, especially the president, would have left people unattended on the basis of race." ~ Condi

What about class Condi?

[warrior1]

45. I wouldn't hold my breath condi

[TheFarseer]

46. Someone should tell these f*ck-bags they can't bring on the Rapture

let me get this straight: We can't cause global warming, we can't prepare for hurricanes, we can't even imagine planes slamming into buildings but we CAN cause the Rapture? Holy crap these people are acting out their favorite bible verse when they should be running our country.

[Tyranny_R_US]

49. I'd love to put her black old skinny ass right where those poor...

black people had to sit and starve for days and see how she likes it.

[BronxBoy]

90. She wouldn't starve......

There would be a line of folks to beat the Black offa her.

[Imagevision]

99. 4 DAYS INTENSE HEAT,NO FOOD OR WATER BABIES DYING

CONDI WOULDN'T HAVE LASTED FOUR HOURS, SHE'S UNQUALIFIED TO COMMENT, SHE IS A FAILED NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER WHO INSTEAD OF BEING REPLACED ? SHE IS PROMOTED!

http://downingstreetmemo.com/

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

50. So she is saying whatever happens here on earth, it doesn't matter

The Rapture will take you away soon enough

fucking fundies.

[Dunvegan]

51. No...

...she's just nattering nothings.

She can't even hear herself.

[tomg]

52. Is he coming on amtrak or by bus?

"The Lord Jesus Christ is going to come on time." She added: "If we just wait." And then she praised Bush for getting the trains to run on time, thus expediting the return of Jesus who, it was rumored, would be arriving on the 3:32 from Cincinnati. Somehow or other, a homily drawn from The Sermon on the Mount and directed toward her boss might have been more appropriate.

[dogonarug]

78. I think she was referring to a blues tune ...

Covered by ZZtop..."Jesus just left Chicago". ironic that the song's next line is, "and he's bound for New Orleans". That condi, whatta cutup.

[enid602]

53. In other words. . .

In other words. . . don't worry right now about human suffering/dying or the fact that the same old familair Republican corporations will make money of this disaster, because the Rapture is coming. I knew it!

I have a friend (a not-for profit manager) who says that Condi is a member of a very fundamentalist (and non-mainstream) Christian church which is heavily into rapture prophecy.

[txindy]

54. She should go halfway and wait for Him

He'd pass her right by.

[mwb970]

55. Why does everyone in the ** administration turn into a preacher?

Also, I don't get the theology of "on time". Will he be bringing more aid for NO?

[Zenlitened]

60. Because it's much easier to spout tired old meaningless platitudes...

... than run a country responsibly.

[bobbieinok]

92. in pentecostal and other churches where 'end times' theology is strong

there is periodic discussion about when Christ will return

many think we are now living in the 'end times'......speakers and preachers talk about 'we/you have been born for such a time as this' (ie, witnessing in the last days)

some speak and preach that 'Christ will come in His own time' ie, He will be 'on time'

BTW, churches believing in 'end times' theology have been emphasizing the last 5 or so years that 'Christ will not return until all the world has heard the gospel'......that's one of the reasons many think we're in the last days: through TV and air travel permitting crusades around the world, everyone has the chance to hear the gospel today

....this necessity that all hear the gospel before Christ returns is behind the Praying through the 10-40 Window project of Ted Haggard in CO Springs (and others)

see, among many examples,

http://www.win1040.com/the1040window.cfm

What is the 10 / 40 Window?

The 10/40 Window is located from 10 degrees to 40 degrees north of the equator, which includes Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.

Nearly 4 billion people live here, including 90 percent of the world's poorest of the poor. It is estimated that 1.6 billion of these people have never had the chance to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ - not even once!
The seat of every major non-Christian religion - Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Animism, Atheism, and Sikhism - is headquartered in the 10/40 Window.
In many of the 67 countries represented in the 10/40 Window, witnessing the Christian Gospel means death. Truly, the 10/40 Window remains the darkest and most inhospitable territory to the cause of Christ and represents the greatest remaining stronghold of Satan.
Two-thirds of the world’s population (4 billion) live in the 67 nations of the 10/40 Window.
95% of the people are unevangelized.
90% of the people are the poorest of the poor, ...

more....

[earth mom]

56. So Sleezy Rice is a fundie whack job nutcase?!

Now I get it. Now I get why she goes along with all the lies, the murdering of innocents, the whole shebang! :grr:

I seriously do not know which one of the ASSES OF EVIL I abhor the most! :grr:

[sexybomber]

57. Did she actually say that?

Please tell me she didn't.... on national TV no less.

[onager]

58. "Our beloved Republic is in the hands of madmen!"

Quote from Julius Caesar in this week's episode of the new HBO series "Rome."

It seems to fit.

[Spazito]

59. I notice all the God talk has been ratcheted up by bush and his

administration, even beyond their usual pandering. Guess why. Now that the 'strong leader' misnomer has been shot down in flames, they are now appealing to the basest of their base, trying to keep, at least, the Christian man misnomer. Watch for it over the coming days, it will be front and center.

Negroes to hug.

[Cleita]

62. And what is the Lord Jesus Christ going to do? Give them

absolution for allowing so much death to happen and then raise the dead to get them off the hook? I don't think so.

[complain jane]

63. And she'll be ready in her $1000 Manolo Blahniks. n/t

[Solly Mack]

64. Did someone say Jesus was running late?

Just asking...

[Flubadubya]

86. She said "The Lord Jesus Christ will come on time."

Not a minute too late, not a minute too soon. No premature coming on Jayzus' part, no siree! :rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

65. Anybody who believes that Jesus is coming back is just plain

deluded. Sorry.

The earth has been here for five billion years. Jesus was a human who lived 2,000 years ago. Believing in the Rapture is pure idiocy.

I cannot imagine a so-called intelligent person in this century who has a position of very high authority relying on this. Fucking nutjob.

[ronnykmarshall]

66. God is coming Condi ....

and she's pissed off at your ass.

[liberalhistorian]

67. Anyone else find the

Clorox Bleach ad ("a new bleach for a new kind of white") just a tad bit ironic, since it was put right next to the Condi article? :evilgrin:

MOBILE, Alabama (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday toured areas of her home state hit by Hurricane Katrina and disputed claims her government had been slow to respond because most of the victims were black.
