Others have derided Rice's managerial style and labeled her as an “extremist.” (Sadly, the usually level-headed governor of New Mexico, Bill Richards, falls into this category.)

Anyone else notice how the Democrats label any black person who wanders off their plantation an "extremist." This is their word of choice for Clarence Thomas too.

As a side, note, I think Newt Gingrich would make an excellent #2 for Condi at State.

Yes,

I would like to see Gingrich's talent and intellect being effectively used in the national interest.
