CONDI: Intellectual powerhouse GWB mercilessly mind-fucked "unprepared" cabinet secretaries
Condoleezza Rice On Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Allegations: 'The Truth Will Come Out'

Rice also defended President Bush against the perception that he is uncurious and anti-intellectual. "I think the greatest misconception about George W. Bush was that he was somehow not interested, not curious, didn't ask tough questions. I saw more cabinet secretaries go into the Oval Office with their presentations about whatever issue and before they could get to page two, he'd ask the most incisive question that they'd forgotten to prepare for," she said on Fox.

"And he was a strategic thinker, always looking at the big picture, always looking at how to think about America's values and America's power in a way that would really progress, make the world more progressive, make the world freer, more prosperous. And he was an exceptional president in that way. And I just loved working with him, because he was so insightful. And he also read five books for every one that I read," she continued.

Former Bush White House senior adviser Karl Rove also wrote in a 2008 column that Bush loved books, and the two "recommended volumes to each other."

3. I always cut him a little slack for being a bozo...
If I thought this could possibly be true, I'd wind that slack up in a heartbeat... and tighten the hold.

But we know how much Condi loved her some W... her 'husband' donchano.

4. What a pack of enormous, whopping lies. . .
But what does one expect from that war criminal Rice? She should be in. . . JAIL and NOT out prancing around telling whoppers about that imbecile who squatted in the WH for 8 years.

8. He was incredibly good at hiding all that incisive intelligence.
But if she says so... It's not like she ever lied to us is it?

9. Bush even secretly acquired a PhD in Quantum Physics
He loved, loved, loved those books. My Pet Goat was just a ploy to throw us off and mind-fuck us liberals.

14. Condi, stop. You're making my sides hurt...
I can just see Colin Powell, all geared up for a briefing about Iran or something, and Bush, after 1 page asking something like:

"Hey Colin, you know those little thingies on the ends of your shoelaces? What do you think those thingies are called?"

The stunned silence would have been magical.

:rofl:

22. Jesus Christ, I bet she got all dewey when she spouted all that bullshit.
"And he was a strategic thinker, always looking at the big picture, always looking at how to think about America's values and America's power in a way that would really progress, make the world more progressive, make the world freer, more prosperous. And he was an exceptional president in that way. And I just loved working with him, because he was so insightful. And he also read five books for every one that I read," she continued.

Yeah, RIGHT.

27. "And then he kissed me, and we...."
Seems at odds with the observations of just about everyone who doesn't have a fan-crush on His Squandership.

34. No, sorry, Condi, that never happened. Cheney told those secretaries to shut up and do what they
were told.

We already had that one book from clear back in 2003 exposing you and Bush as the biggest liars in the history of the United States.

Smoking gun, indeed!
