Rice Suddenly Loses Her Ability To Assess Polls

Last night on O’Reilly, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice claimed she couldn’t assess Bush’s current poll numbers:


O’REILLY: How do you assess President Bush’s falling poll numbers? He’s at the lowest level of his presidency now. Why do you think that’s happening?
RICE: Well, Bill, I’m not one who can assess poll numbers in American politics.


But when Bush’s poll numbers weren’t at the lowest levels of his presidency, she had no trouble telling O’Reilly what those high poll numbers meant:


RICE: Look, the president — first of all, I think one has to look at polls. And he was at astronomically high levels. But see, when you go out there and you talk to Americans, they trust this president. They know that this president is doing everything that he can on the war on terror.

1. She has never worked with deficit numbers

They only ignore the number when they are in deficit which explains why the Federal Deficit is so huge.

3. Why didn't Bill O'Reilly categorize the mistakes and the lies

that junior told the American people?

The mental picture of O'Reilly interviewing Rice is beyond words. Glad I didn't see it!
