Elected members of Democrat party must be obligated to enter into the Clone Mode and rant the same old leftover partylines. Party loyalty, rather than loyalty to principles, is a mafioso type of leftist thingy.

Obama would do better to pick-up where Bill Cosby's admonishing speech left off rather than lowering himself to pick-up stale stuff.

do you get to come home (US) occasionally to shake off the anti-American viruses? Are you listening in today or working?

late reply I know! I was working this afternoon so I had to follow the end of the hearing in chunks on FR. (Then I went to see Team America) I'm actually British so this is home :-)

Is it just me that finds it amusing that the party of equality is the most virulently racist. If Dr. Rice or Mr. Gonzales had been white or liberal, he would have never attempted this crap. Because they were conservative minorities who don't kiss their *ss it was OK to demean and belittle them.

Affirmative action does wonders to speed up the process. Obama is being groomed to run for president in the event the Republicans ever put Condi Rice on the ticket.

Perhaps Robert Byrd will lecture us on Roman history..

Nah, he's gonna read aloud from "Gone with the Wind". Till he has to pee that is...

We should have seen this coming ...

Speaker: Senator Jon Stevens Corzine (NJ)
Title: Statement on the Nomination of Condoleeza Rice on the Nomination of Condoleezza Rice to be the Next Secretary of State

STATEMENT OF SENATOR JON S. CORZINE ON THE NOMINATION OF CONDOLEEZZA RICE TO BE THE NEXT SECRETARY OF STATE

Washington, DC-Condoleezza Rice is an honorable and experienced person. That said, she has stood with the president and an administration that has chosen to end 50 years of bipartisan consensus on foreign policy replacing it with an ideologically-driven, go-it-alone approach: an approach that has cost the nation dearly in lives and a treasured reputation. The United States needs a pragmatic, effective foreign policy that strengthens our alliances, develop global strategies for winning the war on terrorism, halt nuclear proliferation in places such as Iran and North Korea, and deliver a real exit strategy for Iraq. The next Secretary of State must also address global problems such as HIV-AIDS and climate change and confront immediately the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. The administration has a lot to answer for, and I look forward to Dr. Rice's confirmation hearings to discuss these issues.
