The difference between Bush appointees and xlinton appointees is the steel in their backbones.
This woman is absolutely, positively incredible.
Dr. Rice will be yet another great president if she so chooses.
Wow! Her background is incredibly impressive, graduated college at age 19? Roots in Birmingham, father a minister, came out of a segregationist past? What an asset to the Bush team and to America.
Amazing woman indeed.
This lady is really quite amazing.
I would very much like to see some articles that go into detail about her years as Stanford's provost. I dimly recollect another article that delved into the battles she had to fight against the forces of political correctness and academic sclerosis that will stand her in good stead as she takes the helm of the foggy bottom snake pit.
I read this article a week ago...her dream job...Baseball Commissioner.
Guess she'll have to settle for Secretary of State.

I admire Dr. Rice more than any other woman in public life. She is incredible. It is hard to imagine how all that intelligence, wisdom and courage can exist in one human being. She is truly gifted and her morality is a testiment to what she knows about nations, freedom and the human condition. Anyone with a daughter should be inspired by the example she sets.
Hope she runs for senator in 2006 against Hillary. It would prove she has the right stuff.
Your good fortune.
Wish we had one (anyone!) like that here in the UK.
Condi Rice, interesting background...amazing woman. Small world...Madeline Aldumb's tenure as Sec. of State was abysmal and Condi's will be spectacular.
Well, I guess Condi will have to put one of her lifelong career goals... to be Commisioner of the National Football League... on hold for a little while longer.
Her country needs her.
"When the Bush Administration came to power..."
Typical BBC perception of Republicans. US Presidents are elected; Soviet and Islamofascist dictators come to power.
It is so sad...the Republicans can't manage to muster anyone of color who can compare favorably with the brightest stars in the DemocRAT firmament, like Maxine Waters or Shiela Jacksons Lee!
Condi Rice is another great American success story. She had strong, loving parents who told her she could be anything she wanted to be. What a great testimony to all of us.
I believe President Bush is grooming her to be his successor.
She's simply my favorite.
