I love Dick Cheney, that dudes got a set. which is why an insecure overachieving woman can't stand him.
Exactly why is she writing "memoirs," anyway?

The more I read about Cheney, the more I wish he'd been president instead of Bush. But at least Bush had the wisdom to choose Cheney as his VP.
To: Cinnamontea
I, on the other hand, thank God and am so very grateful for Pres. George W. Bush, his unqualified love for and loyalty to America, his relentless resolve for our safety, his deep honor for the Office, his abiding love and support for our great troops, among many other things. And, yes, course, he’s a very smart man and a patriot, and he chose a great man to be at his side.
God bless and protect Pres. Bush and VP Cheney always.

Cheney was the Colonel Walter Kurtz of the Bush admin. You can argue if he was right or even moral, but you can never doubt the efficacy of his means.
But the comments on this thread that Condi was a quota hire are reprehensible and borderline racist. She has every big a set as Cheney.

Clashes should be expected at the highest levels in a time of deep change and I, for one, am glad Bush allowed his advisors to feel free to speak their minds and have those discussions. I am glad that now Condi is letting us know what these discussions involved.
President Bush led and always made the final decision unlike our current "lead-from-behind" coward.
To: STARWISE
I have always thought that Condi was very good
at doing nothing.

She publicly admitted after 9-11 that she and those who worked for her were insufficiently alert to the threats the nation faced.
She should have been forced to resign right then in disgrace.
To: the invisib1e hand
I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I did become disenchanted with her [during the Bush years] for some reason, and that one reason became many.
Many of Bush's picks were less than spectacular, and that's being kind.
To: the invisib1e hand
Isn’t it obvious? To team up with Colin Powell! Plus, if you attack Cheney, you may be able to someday become the NBA Commish!

Right. So Condi’s personality is Bush’s fault!

Her whole academic expertise was security issues with the USSR. Joining the Bushies in 2000, 20 years after the USSR began to collapse, and trying to get up to speed on the muzzies and such was a little out of sync, to say the least.

One of GW’s most unfortunate faults is/was a misplaced sense of loyalty. At the first sign of trouble or friction between rice and either Bush’s staff or Cheney’s staff they should have cashiered her.

I have to give her this much credit: she's probably never been given the Margaret Sanger Award for Achievement by Planned Parenthood. Not yet, at least.

This is not what my impression of her was at the time.
I am no longer a fan of Condaleeza Rice.
Sounds like she’s not better than Susan Rice.
I vote for Dick Cheney.
In fact. Dick Cheney for President.

‘..I’ll take Cheney’s guidance for protecting this nation every time over yours. Cheney rules! God bless and protect him....’
Ditto! Thanks for the nice picture of our wonderful VP.
To: hinckley buzzard
Yea,
I was never more ashamed of our secretary of state then when they had her perform her piano recital.
Are you kidding me?
Secretary of State is a show performer?
That would be like having Thomas Jefferson, the first secretary of state go on stage and juggle some oranges.
How far we have fallen.....
