Last night’s interview of Condloleezza Rice by Charlie Rose was another disturbing peak inside the misguided, criminal and insane agenda of the Bush administration.
Did anyone else feel as though Rice was just barely able to refrain from screaming and throwing her arms up in frustration? How long can the neo-cons keep shoveling this agenda of democracy at the end of a gun down our throats? Every time they’re put under the spot light and try and justify their criminal activity they dig themselves even deeper and disclose just how much they don’t know and never knew about Iraq. Rice’s elucidation of an endless occupation of the Middle East last night is not inline with the American public or our established foreign policy. It seems the project for a new American century is going along just splendidly for the movement. The question is, how in the hell can the Democrats get us out of this mess in ‘08 ( that is, if they win and if that is in their agenda, which I don’t think it is)? Great interview last night, although I think Rice did a great job of giving Charlie the run around and probably one-uped him at every turn. A better interview than last week’s Bush Bash though.

It gets increasingly painful even to watch these people on the box.
Recently, there was some sort of interview on TV with Bush and Blair, and I came through into the living room to catch my mother saying, almost under her breath, ‘Lying bastards’.
My mother is very well brought up and doesn’t swear. Normally.
What could I say?.
Me?. I can swear like a pirate and I agree with her.

Someone aptly described Rice as ‘a white woman in a black skin’. I would amend that to ‘A MEAN white woman….

Merkin-
Thanks for that addition. I love it.
It is really telling to hear someone of her generation with her sensibilities saying something like that. Was she one who supported Blair in the beginning of his regime, before he screwed his relationship and trust with his country and constituents? Just curious.
Anticant-
I’m sure it wasn’t your intention, but, I find that quote disturbing and racist.

I am prepared to give Anti the benefit of the doubt on this one.
More likely he is taking a dig at the racism inherent in the system.
Colin Powell gets whiter by the day.
Why?.
Can he be President once he starts to look like Michael Jackson?.

Re : Blair election. Dunno the answer.
My mother is not in the country at the moment.
Also, she lives in Scotland which WAS ‘always’ safely Labour.
I suspect, though, that millions would have voted for Saddam Hussein to get rid of Thatcherism.
Me?. I was in Poland and was therefore doubly shocked when I returned to this country.
On reflection, my mother would have voted SNP in all likelihood.

I should reiterate that I’m not suggesting Anti endorsed that quote.
I’m not sure what Anti meant by it at the moment myself. Perhaps he’d help me out by elaborating?
Sentiments of that nature go over like a turd in a punch bowl on this side of the pond however. I reckon they do over yonder too.

I meant a mean woman in the same sense that Jean
Kirkpatrick and Madeleine Half-bright were mean women – no compassion for the victims of their policies. Rice’s origins and bacground make it even more reprehensible in her case.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Those two would have made great wardresses at Guantanamo.
