…[W]ho truly believes, after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, that the status quo in the Middle East was stable, beneficial and worth […]

Condi Pulls It Off

At a dinner on Wednesday for 32 foreign ministers and NATO representatives here, Ms. Rice said later, she decided […]

Condi Says No Run

Condi Rice is saying she has no interest whatsoever in running for 2008…and so does virtually every candidate. I’m beginning to believe Condi, however; I think she would be a victim of Bush fatique if she ran. I haven’t updated my odds or done any candidate profiles lately…that’s because I’m in the process […]

Rudy G. Leads the Way

The latest Rasmussen Poll on GOP presidential preferences has Rudy Giuliani leading with 31%, John McCain with 28%, and Condi with 19%.

Not EVERYONE Is A Condi Fan

If you visit this blog even semi-regularly, you’ve probably gathered I like Condeleezza Rice. A lot. A whole, whole lot…but I try to be open to opposing viewpoints, and John Hawkins of Right Wing News, it’s fair to say, doesn’t share my enthusiasm. In fact, he has the Top 8 Reasons Not […]

More on Race and the Left

Racist radio talk-show host and program manager John “Sly” Sylvester says he has apologized for calling Condoleezza Rice “Aunt Jemima”, but you be the judge as to how sincere that apology is. Sylvester says he “offended many African-Americans” with his comments…hell, he offended many Americans, period. Sylvester has also called Colin Powell (you guessed it!) […]
