Democrat TV show backfires: Dr. Condi Rice administers corrective therapy!
Democrats hoped to use the TV appearance of Dr. Condi Rice to either implicate the Bush administration in 9-11 or provide some sort of televised gaffe that could be used against Bush in this year's election.

Their ploy backfired spectacularly.

Dr. Rice delivered calm, reasoned answers to the questions of the commission, and the partisan Democrats looked like they were trying to find someone (in the Bush administration) to blame for 9-11 while the Republicans looked like they were trying to find solutions to the national security concerns of Americans.

Dr. Rice emphatically contradicted Richard Clarke's allegations that there was a "plan" handed over from the Clinton administration for dealing with Osama Bin Laden. Dr. Rice refused to play the blame game, but the unstated answer to that question was if there was a plan, why wasn't it acted upon prior to January 21st, 2001?

Bob Kerrey looked particularly foolish, first taking up time to complain about President Bush's policy on Iraq, then whining that Dr. Rice was taking too long to answer his questions and "using up his time". He then went on to make statements that he didn't want Dr. Rice to address, but she did so anyway, much to the consternation of Mr. Kerrey.

Other Democrats were equally hostile to Dr. Rice, treating her more like a hostile trial witness than an administration official providing willing answers to their questions. Republicans pointed out what a farce the TV show was, noting that Dr. Rice had already answered questions in a closed session, and would do so again following the televised appearance.


Public reaction was swift and not in favor of the Democrats. Polls already showed that the public believes that the Bush administration did more to stop terrorism and 9-11 than the Clinton administration did. Dr. Rice's performance will only strengthen that belief.

Liberal media is doing frantic cartwheels over Condi. I've seen some odd headlines that had nothing to do with what I and a many millions of American citizens viewed on television today.

With the next phase of WWIII starting in Iraq, it is more important than ever that we keep President Bush in office, or find a cure for The Gipper--either way, Kerry would open us up to the present fate of poor Spain.

I noticed that, too. Last week I saw that the Democrats were aleady preparing their "reaction" talking points.

It didn't matter what she was actually going to say, they were going to talk right past that to their own political needs.

Condi Rice in 2008, now more than ever!

What can I say. Oh yes, Dr. Rice is a sexxxay lady who would bitch slap bill clinton is his hands ever got near her. I'm glad that we have her on the tean with President Bush, and I'm glad that President Bush had the wisdom to select her.
