CONDI ON NOW-TODAY SHOW

TODAY SHOW | 11/28/03

[STARWISE]

GO NOW

[STARWISE]

NOW NOW NOW!

[StatesEnemy]

What I'd like to hear:

Condi: "Mathew... your questions are almost as pointed as your head."

[STARWISE]

Here it is:

Matt, saying ..(paraphrasing) there have been some critical comments about the President not attending funerals of killed soldiers, blah blah .. their families are upset, blah, blah, blah

Matt .. (paraphrasing) ... the fighting isn't really over .. X # of troops have been killed ... "the end of conflict" regurgitation, blah blah blah

Condi is unwavering!!!! Go CONDI!!

[Sacajaweau]

Great speaker. She looks pretty tired though. Gee, I wonder why?

[STARWISE]

You thought so? I thought she looked and spoke phenomenally .. beautiful inside and out, she is.

[TomGuy]

She is on FoxNews now:

[TomGuy]

[EQAndyBuzz]

Next President of the United States. Condi Rice. I always like Jeane Kirkpatrick, but Condi is da bomb.

[mware]

She is on Fox and Friends right now. They just read a comment from Doe Eyed Joe Lockhart. It was a dispictable comment but coming from one of Clintons gang, I guess we have to expect it.

[TomGuy]

Yeh. They'll have Mattie Albright out with her criticisms before the day is over, if she's through changing with the bed linens and towels.

[Sacajaweau]

Always thought that Kirkpatrick was the only woman prepared to be President. There's no one comparable though Condi certainly is impressive.

[mass55th]

"Condi is unwavering!!!! Go CONDI!!"

The Democrap talking points must be claiming Bush hasn't attended funerals or visited families of fallen troops. Fox just asked Condi about a quote from Joe Lockhart (Clinton Press Sec.). Lockhart claims Bush hasn't visited any family members of the fallen soldiers, so why should he go to Baghdad. Of course this is a blatant lie, and although Condi is gracious as can be, she said it was false and that the President has indeed visited family members.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Just out of curiousity, any idea whose butt Joe Lockhart is slurping these days?

[anniegetyourgun]

And the Leftists wonder why we question their patriotism. Lockhart's comment was sour grapes from a man who would apparently prefer that the president would not honor the troops. How politically motivated is THAT?

[mystery-ak]

Bush has not only visited family he has called each and every one of them.

[tkathy]

IMHO she should prove herself by running against Boxer for senator. She should stay out of presidential politics until she proves herself. Otherwise it would look like pandering of the worst sort.

[admiralsn]

Just look at and listen to the SOLDIERS he visited-- that is who this was all about, isn't it? These media whores spewing the democrap line is laughable-- ask the soldiers what they think of him. Oh wait, they were asking them and the troops were positively gushing with pride for this President. Guess they didn't like that.

[admiralsn]

And neither he nor his people will talk about that-- which is the right thing to do. THIS president doesn't bring a camera crew along on his visits with family members.

[freedom4ever]

I thought I heard yesterday that President Bush has also written each family of those who have been killed.

[johnny7]

... Kirkpatrick was the only woman prepared to be President.

These are the 'true words'. I would have been proud to call her President! With seasoning, Rice could be on the ticket for 2008... either top spot or #2.

Her incredible focus in answering the fractured, multi-faceted questions she gets from the liberal bobble-heads is like Rumsfelds but more polished and professional. In a debate with Ms. Rodham, Ms. Rice would have her running off the stage in tears! HA!

[Savage Beast]

I can not forget the cold reception Oprah gave Condi when she appeared on Oprah's show.

I like Oprah very much. She is obviously brilliant, imaginative, creative, and a very good person. I like her public persona, and, one never knows until one is actually in the situation, and I have never met Oprah, but I think I would like her personally.

But she has a stunning disconnect.

It is deeply disturbing to see her swooning, praising outrageously, and falling all over mindless, semi-literate "celebrities" but giving the cold shoulder to someone truly outstanding, accomplished, and as brilliant as Oprah herself, like Dr. Rice.

Have I misperceived this? Does anyone else have this same impression, or is it just me?

[mass55th]

"Bush has not only visited family he has called each and every one of them."

And he's visited the wounded at the hospital.

[evad]

..giving the cold shoulder to someone truly outstanding, accomplished, and as brilliant as Oprah herself, like Dr. Rice.

..never discount that ole tried and true thing called 'jealousy'.

[Guenevere]

#21...Oprah's personification of being.. 'just like you'....is an illusion of the highest order.

She should win an academy award.

Her true allegiance is exactly what you stated....with the ultra liberal, mindless so called celebrities, ie, Streisand, and ilk.

She has snookered many, and I hope you realize this!

[wizardoz]

Condi is everything Oprah wishes she were, I suspect.

[evad]

Condi is everything Oprah wishes she were, I suspect.

Oprah has a certain brilliance as measured by her success at doing 'what she does'. But, compared to Dr. Rice, in the world of reality Oprah is a 25 watt bulb.

[hchutch]

Have Condi as Jeb's VP in `08. In 2016, she takes the top slot. :)

[hillary's_fat_a**]

..... if she's through changing with the bed linens and towels .....

Yea, does anybody have that great pic of Maddie as a maid? Did Registered do that one? I laughed for days at that pic!

[GraniteStateConservative]

Al Haig ran and he'd not been a politician.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Condi and Oprah are friends, so you can draw your own conclusions about your misperceptions.

"In all my years of interviewing, I have never been prouder to spell my name woman than after spending time with Condoleezza Rice." --Oprah

[section9]

Jeb won't run in 2008. Can't have one Bush running after the other. People will be tired of the Bushes in 2008; Republicans will need to offer change. Condi will be that change.

You don't go up against the Hildebeast with another Bush. You beat the Hildebeast with a smarter woman.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[freeperfromnj]

And the Leftists wonder why we question their patriotism

That's why I didn't watch any coverage this morning. I didn't want to hear ANY of them taint and distort the wonderful thing he did for the troops. I don't understand how anyone could have watched the coverage of the President's trip yesterday and not be moved by the moment. They can't see past their own hatred of the man. I just knew they all would be overanalyzing and criticizing him this morning. They do such a disservice to the troops by bashing their Commander in Chief. The media and the rats are such losers.

[MainFrame65]

"... IMHO she should prove herself by running against Boxer for senator. She should stay out of presidential politics until she proves herself. Otherwise it would look like pandering of the worst sort. ..."

Agreed. Without actually researching it, I can't think of any president in the past century except Eisenhower who had not won at least one election. She does carry some unwanted baggage; wrong on abortion, and weak on limited government, but I certainly would vote for her against any democrat I can think of. She is as proudly American as anyone could be.

[dwilli]

i think the two major parties biggest blunders are:Republicans never pushing Jeanne Kirkpatrick to
be on a national ticket: democrats never putting
Sam Nunn at the top of the ballot in the presidential race.

[lavrenti]

Hear, hear. Condi has no electoral experience, however. This is why Hillary! had to get a senate seat.

However, Condi is in the process of creating a public persona that has begun to overwhelm others in the administration. Colin Powell, for example, is playing the Abba Eban role, eschewing national politics for the daunting tasks of high-stakes diplomacy (after this war, I bet his role will be revealed as most vital--the Indo-Pak crisis last year very nearly turned into a major war; the Bush/Powell intervention may been seen years later as the turnaround in American handling of regional crisis).

Condi is seemingly the voice who speaks when W. cannot. I think she's going to surprise people in the next year or so.

Just by doing her job.

[SuziQ]

Have I misperceived this? Does anyone else have this same impression, or is it just me?

Well, I'd agree with you that Condi is brilliant, but I wouldn't necessarily describe Oprah in those terms. She is a savvy businesswoman, and knows how to schmooze, but she's too blinded by celebrity to be brilliant.

[Lancey Howard]

but giving the cold shoulder to someone truly outstanding, accomplished, and as brilliant as Oprah herself, like Dr. Rice.

There you go. A black female is smarter and even more accomplished than Oprah - - and Oprah doesn't like it. Oprah has always been number one, but not anymore. Now she's number two.

[sharkhawk]

I know there is a thread out there somewhere, where the press played it up that the fiancee (although the press reported it as the wife) of one of the soldiers killed in a helocopter crash, didn't want to go with the rest of the families to meet with Bush. How did that happen if he didn't meet with any families? Another typical RAT lie.

[StriperSniper]

Oprah has a certain brilliance as measured by her success at doing 'what she does'.

Her greatest coup was when she decided she wanted a part of the ownership of her show. That was at a time when that was not the standard MO and she got real lucky that it worked out so big. I'll give her lots of credit for managing and expanding on that since, but 90% of her wealth can be traced back to that one decision.

[StriperSniper]

You beat the Hildebeast with a smarter woman.

Jenna Jameson? Works for me. ;-)

[kinsman redeemer]

I said that she was destined for the office in 1988.

[Bad Dog2]

No-o-o-o!!!

Condi in 2008, and show the the Democraps how really racist we are by giving her our unwaving and heartfelt support!

If you think they can't handle things now just try to imagine what that would do to them.

Ba-Wa-wa-w-a-waaa

[dansangel]

RE Oprah: She has snookered many, and I hope you realize this!

Amen. How hard is it to see how shallow this woman is? She panders to the ultra-liberal Hollyweird set and is positively threatened when confronted with a right-wing African American woman who is far more intelligent than she could ever aspire to be.

[Heatseeker]

[kylaka]

Just think of Lockhart as irrelevance rearing it's ugly head, and it will make you smile. Same goes for Hillary.

[ServesURight]

How can a President attend every single funeral of fallen soldier? Doing this would downplay our efforts in the war. Bush has already issued numerous statements of praise and made phone calls.

X42 never made any phone calls to the families of Marines dragged in Somalia or the USS Cole bombing.

[Spyder]

I watched about 3 minutes of her on one of the network broadcasts. Couldn't take it. "So doesn't the high security involved with the President's visit just underscore how little progress we've made in Iraq?" "So essentially we haven't made any progress at all in the last 6 months?"

And the lefties have the nerve to claim the media is biased against THEM???

[LS]

Chris, everyone here better figure this out: Rice is (so far) NOT a politician. She has not run for office; not gotten a single vote in a single eleciton; not raised a penny. Barring a phenomenal next four years, she will not be material for a presidential candidate. Maybe Veep, but even then, she brings no voter appeal/sectional appeal to the table. I'm sorry, but we all have to realize that there are QUALIFICATIONS to running for office, and as distasteful as they may be, they involve the ability to run an organization; appoint people; and RAISE MONEY.

[Savage Beast]

"In all my years of interviewing, I have never been prouder to spell my name woman than after spending time with Condoleezza Rice." --Oprah

I'm glad you told me this, GSC. Thanks. I could not understand how anyone as bright as Oprah could fail to appreciate, respect, and admire Condoleezza Rice.

I think I misunderstood the situation, and, frankly, I'm glad I did. I admire and respect both of them.

[Savage Beast]

"she got real lucky that it worked out so big."

The highly intelligent are often "lucky". George Bush, for example.
