Unsticker

[roguevalley]

This man has no brains or shame and neither does she:

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) gave his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites), a new job description Tuesday: the White House's "unsticker."

SNIP!

The move prompted speculation that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had been sidelined, despite the Pentagon (news - web sites)'s continuing authority over the U.S. mission in Iraq. It also led to much talk of how Rice, one of Bush's most powerful and trusted advisers, performs her job.

Bush was asked what changed with the creation of Rice's new group. He did not directly answer the question, but suggested her Iraq oversight was a natural outgrowth of her job description.

"The role of the national security adviser is to not only provide good advice to the president, which she does on a regular basis," the president said during a Rose Garden news conference, "... but her job is also to deal inter-agency and to help unstick things that may get stuck. That's the best way to put it. She's an unsticker."

With Rice, arms crossed in front of her chest, watching from the sidelines, Bush added, to laughter: "Is she listening? OK, well, she's doing a fine job."

I am so embarrassed. I would hate to think that people of other countries believe that this is the way Americans are.
