Stopping at CNN.com, as I do many times a day, I came across the picture of Condoleeza Rice. THE picture. This picture defines this administration during this whole September 11 hearings circus. Condi stands behind the resident, scowling as though she has a load of crap in her diaper (which I suppose she does). I now call her Condoleeza Poopy-Pants. resident Bush gives nick-names to everyone. Do you think he calls her that in briefings now?
Probably not. He's too scared that she might crack and then the whole scam will collapse in his face. The last thing Bush wants is an indictment in his administration. Especially of him. Not that they did anything illegal, in this instance. They just did nothing, which should be criminal. Richard Clarke (notice how all the Republicans call him 'Dick') is the authority here, wouldn't you agree? Seems to me as though the Clinton administration, while could have done more, has no direct responsibility for an event that took place during Bush's term. Nine months into Bush's term. Nine months to make us safer, with no action. Instead, Bush, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, the whole lot of them reacted frantically and fanatically Xtian. Now, they have no idea how to change course. The bodies keep mounting and there's no end in sight. If we pull out this summer, Iraq will collapse. Yeah, big victory.
But Bush continues to defy gravity! His administration's credibility should be hovering around ground zero. The rubber suit helps, I'm sure.
