Exactly. Also, there has been so much hype over getting her to testify that she'll get more prominent coverage than she would have otherwise.

She also gets the last word in this way.

They are throwing her into the briar patch.

And where's the truth going to be after all this?

Pray for Condi......this is going to be one day that she can not falter, no misstep's will go unnoticed.....she must be at her absolute best. I sure wouldn't want her job!

I hope that the public will be able to see how much these Dems can be jerks. I expect the Dems to set her up and string her out. This entire thing is nothing but Butcher politics. I sure hope that Condi is very, very good!

I don't think it's such a bad idea. In fact, I think part of the stalling is intentional....get the Dems so in a titter about having Condi testify that they'll kind of wish in the end they never pushed the issue so hard when she takes the stand. I have a lot of faith in Condi and the way she'll handle herself....kind of like "OK, you want a piece of me? Let's rumble...." in a very cutting, but civilized way.

I agree. Local talk show host made prediction today that she would knock them dead with her testimony. It was like Ol Breyer Rabbit, dont force me to testify in public, oh please, please dont force me to do that. Be careful about what you wish for Democrats.
