Remember - they would speculate about a Condi-Hillary race ...

Anyone else NOT suprised that such a run never materialized and sure doesn't appear likely to do so?

High profile, yes. But so thoroughly (self)-discredited - she will have to settle post bushco to return to the Hoover Institute and take cushy corporate board jobs.

1. haha... they know their "base" would never go for it
Many americans are sexist and racist, but the more extreme cases reside in the repukelican party.

2. Yep. Condi's star has grown faint in the constellations. There are rumors
that she will be the next Vanna White on WHEEL OF FORTUNE, that she will draw on her piano skills and work the Vegas lounges, and that she will renounce her worldly possessions, burn her shoes in a huge blaze, and join the Sisters of Something-or-Other and live out the rest of her days as a nun.

That Condi. Always full of surprises.

4. bwahaha funny images.
Dang you're good at this. I have to run to work - but I encourage you to think a little bit about what other current or past jradmin figures might be doing in five years - with your humour - and start a thread. Would be hilarious for folks to get in on that fun. If you do it - pm me a link so if I miss it in real time I could join in on the fun at a later time. :hi: Have a great day!

6. Hi, salin. Thanks for the kind words, but your post was the fertile seed.
Why not call in sick to work and catch a film? Or hang out here, better yet, and we can all enjoy your company.

You hang in there & we'll cross paths on DU again and say disparaging things about Republicans.

8. Don't forget the ice skating
I'm sure Disney on Ice could use her for something.

3. Its obvious that the talents kondi possesses is not presidential material
her rise to the top, so to say, was not due to her intelligence but to her talents. just saying

7. if she had a smidgeon of talent, it would be another story
but little miss prada has screwed up everything she touched. Her's is a legacy of petulance, puppetry, and perverted diplomacy. Her administrative skills pale in comparison to her ability to amuse other countries' leader with her inept, even incoherent approach to serious problems.

There is one way that Little Miss Prada shines - as a mouthpiece of the foulest geopolitical decisions made by a power hungry neocon like Cheney and a disengaged, uninformed and uncurious brain-damaged guy like the president.



Condi is not the only one who lost her luster. Remember the push to amend the constitution so Ahnold could run? BEFORE he became an accomplished leader, and not simply another GOP figurehead with an accent?

9. Mrs. ZBDent likes her
but her eyes glaze over when I talk politics ... and she doesn't pay that much attention.

Generally, she has similar (if not more muted) views that mesh with mine; she just sees me as more fanatical.

Actually, it's that I pay more attention ... that's one of my problems ... and why I'll likely never be a Republican ...

11. Well, what do you expect?
The republican base already has enough problems having to decide between two multiple-divorced, wife-cheating men whose conservative credentials (other than the whole no adultery thing) are iffy and a flip-flopper from a branch of Christianity they view as a cult. Now you want to throw an unmarried Black woman in there? I like it when freepers heads explode too, but I can't afford the dry cleaning bills.

12. Why not? the new star is Rudy who is well ahead in polls both in primary and general election.
