Jay Leno asked Condoleezza Rice to give her opinion regarding the kerfuffle over Dick Cheney’s outspoken criticism of BaracK Obama and his policy team, especially on national security.
Instead of backing Cheney, the former National Security Adviser and Secretary of State instead told Leno that she knows how it feels to have critics “chirping” from the outside — and that any advice she gives will come privately or not at all (via Christopher Weber):

The ONLY reason she was invited on Leno was to Bash Cheney! I guess she doesn’t like STRONG, RIGHT MEN!
I took the ‘chirping from the outside’ comment as a comment on herself saying something about what Cheney said.. ie, she wouldn’t criticize him, if she has something to say about it, she would say it personally...
I like Dick Cheney.
A LOT.
But, I remember all the BS Dubya took from both Slick Willie and AlGore, not to mention Algright and others, after that power duo was out of office.
Dubya’s administration is OVER.
Just like I anger at the word “inherited” and all of Obammy’s “Blame Bush” excuses, I think Cheney should write a book and speak about his part in Dubya’s administration, and leave Obammy to the pundits, press and public.
Hmm .. interesting and perhaps curiously so?
I like Condi Rice. No, I don't agree with her on everything (does anyone agree with anyone on everything?), but overall she's OK with me.
I’ve been thinking critically about Dr. Rice for a long time, but I’ve been too charitable.
You are absolutely right....THEY...are just skewing this to make headlines - DO NOT FALL FOR THIS CON JOB BY THE LEFT -AGAIN- CONSERVATIVES!!!!
This is predictable. It was perfectly clear during the campaign that she was in the Messiah’s corner.
Exactly right.
I saw the interview and it didn’t sound at all critical.
In fact she chided Leno for asking such a personal question.
She’s a lady; even if they had differences, she would NOT
be immature about it like EVERYONE in this new mental ward
...er, White House...has been!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who is seeing it this way. Far too many people are easily manipulated.. Just like the class warfare games with AIG bonuses.. they plant how they want us to think and instead of being critical of what we are told, people just knee jerk to the headline.
Even Thomas Jefferson said that former presidents should be forced to leave the country.
Cheney can write a book about the “War on Terror”, which he did a great job of orchestrating. He can even make speaches and speak about specific tactics and strategies that kept America safe.
But former presidents and their cabinets should STFU and the let the new president do his job.
It’s bad when Carter and Clinton do it.
Reagan never did it, Bush 41 never did it, and now Bush 42 (and company) should show the same class.
If you find her making even a slightly critical statement about Obama, feel free to email me.
Not that I expect you to be able to.
I thought she was taking a swipe at the ‘toon & Carter.
I agree with you. I saw the interview, I paid attention, there wasn’t a Cheney slight. Not that *I* noticed.
I thought she was all class.
Gotta fix this:
“the _pretend_ Messiah’s corner.”
There, that does it.
The libs are the ones that feeeeeel before they think!
We can’t get down on that level. I don’t think Condi did;
she was articulate and did correct him on impressions of
our President Bush! I was glad to hear that.
I never expected that EVERY person in the administration
thought exactly alike anyway. They were adults!
These new guys are NOT!
No criticism there...just a difference in style.
