Love that movie. Love it!
And Condi? Rummy could’ve made me cry, too.

The only thing I find fascinating about this article is that
The Telegraph chose this small incident out of hundreds in Cheney's book to focus on.
*Yawn*

I have ordered Rumsfeld’s book from Amazon. It’s due out end of October and I can’t wait.

As if this wasn’t singled out to print at a time when a woman is on the R ticket.

She will soon fade away to some hob where her skin color will count for more than her intelligence. I guess she couldnt take the heat from Rummy. Crying in a meeting - WOW!!!!!!

In retrospect I’d rather not have had either as SecState. I’ve always respected General Powell for his public service, and Condi for her grace. However, I have too much fundamental disagreement with them and their leadership style to have them in such a high place in the administration.

When a woman crys it is best to get out of Dodge right then and there because when she stops the real fight is just getting started. They may be crying on the outside but they are thinking at supercomputer speed on the inside.

I hope this is true. Not a big fan of Dr. Rice. She’s too friendly toward Hamas.

I respect and admire Ms. Rices accomplishments And what might those accomplishments be?
I mean accomplishments for our side.
So please do not include the Hezzbollah rearmament and overthrow of the Lenanese government.

The title's misleading. It would be more accurate to say George Tenet made Condi Rice cry. As the article goes on to say:
On finding Mr Rumsfeld absent from a second meeting, CIA director George Tenet was so angry that he defied a direct order from Miss Rice to sit down and marched out of the meeting, declaring: "This is bullshit."
The book goes on: "Something happened to Rice's face, control melting away. Her eyes welled up and her next words caught in her throat. The men in the room did not know where to look.
'She started to cry,' said one of them. 'And she said - I can't remember the exact words because I was so shaken - something like: "We will talk about this again," and she turned and walked quickly out of the door.'"
In a biography about Condi Rice called Twice As Good, her stepmother said she had made Condi cry once - "And it shocked me... She went from furiousness to boo hoo." My guess: The crying in these instances comes from emotion overload. Anger, in the case above, may well have been the operative emotion.

Im sorry, but Im not buying it. Veiled attempt to make Americans worry about the strength of a women in the VP slot.That thought occured to me too, but why would a Brit newspaper be tasked to "plant" the seed of the idea on weak minds? Perhaps I am too naive and simply don't give our domestic "progressives", or Obama's hit squads enough credit to find devious ways.
On the other hand, I'm cynical in not believing in "coincidences."
