Why in the World would W nominate Condi after her failures??

[opihimoimoi]

Could it be she did warn Bush of Osama prior to 9/11?

That she pleaded with him to warn the American People?

The Airports, the FBI, etc?

and her words fell on DEAF EARS?

And this is why she gets the plums and not the lemons?

[MercutioATC]

1. Two words:

(NOT intended to be racist)


1) Black

2) Female



It's exactly what the Repubs need to feel good about themselves.

[wtmusic]

2. Cause she is slippery as a fish

She is like Cheney. Her massive attitude fools people into thinking she must be right.

[opihimoimoi]

4. BUT the scoreboard shows a losing record.....over 4 years, she never

scored....Osama- 272635400191812762.99 Condi- 0

[wtmusic]

8. You're right

but it doesn't matter. It's all about attitude and fear (unfortunately)

[LSdemocrat]

3. Since when did Bush care about competence?

It's all about blind loyalty.

[tigereye]

10. I think he sees her as competent

and that is what is so disturbing. I would have preferred a less rightwing African American woman as Secretary of State. Her inability to have any concerns about being wrong is what is so bothersome. Of course, many previous NSAs/Secretarys were blindly arrogant- think Henry Kissinger.

[LSdemocrat]

13. True, she is competent ONLY in terms of implementing Bush's ideology

That really is the most disturbing thing about Bush. He really believes that what he is doing is the right thing to do and is finding people to fulfill his screwed up vision.

[Tess49]

19. Right. She's a good little dog. Does anything he wants.

[Cobalt Violet]

5. Sheeple don't hold any of these people accountable anymore.

[xray s]

6. as far as Bush sees it, its a big success

we got the oil. condi did her part to distract and befuddle. that is all that matters.

[DELUSIONAL]

7. She covers up for his stupidity

and feeds his ego.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

9. Loyalty trumps competence

in Bushworld.

[coloradodem2005]

11. Why would America re-elect Bush after his failures?

[WildClarySage]

15. I can't believe we did.

[Old and In the Way]

12. SoS is slated for downsizing.

She'll be working out of Don Rumsfield's office for the next 4 years. The Bush administration doesn't do diplomacy...they do bombs.

[Starlight]

14. They're lovers.

It seems obvious to me. :shrug:

[signmike]

18. Call it love.

She calls him "her husband".

Gee ... I wonder why?

:shrug:

[robbedvoter]

16. Because he can. he would name his horse - except he's scared of it

(and doesn't have one). It's just in your face abuse.
And those who go along, are like abused spouses.

[opihimoimoi]

22. I once did a thread about abused voters: The more you abuse them

the more they love you.... not all voters but more than a few...

and thats all it took....

[mod mom]

17. the same reason rumsfeld is still defense secretary.

[proudbluestater]

20. This is the only life * knows. If you fuck up, you get promoted.

He's LIVED this. It's all he knows.

[opihimoimoi]

21. LOL, I believe you have something there :o)
