Analysis: Rice's Stock Is on the Rise (AP)
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20051226/D8ENJL3G0.html

here's the lede:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has become the most popular member of the Bush administration and a potential candidate to succeed her boss in the White House, even as Americans lose confidence in the president she serves and patience with the Iraq war she helped launch.

//Go for it GOP! Boosterism for Rice, Rice BABY . . .

snip from a Carnegie scholar:
"She may present a slightly softer image, a slightly friendlier image, one that is not knee-jerk defensive" on issues like the mistreatment of terrorism detainees, Brown said. "But there are limits to what she can do so long as the policy is unpopular."

//she scares the s**t out of me, just freaky looking . . . not as smart as some may think, IMO

1. Why is the media trying to make this apologist and liar a super star?
Is it because Condi is the most creditable out of the whole crime family?

8. They will not run Condi. The Thuggery is racist and they
Edited on Mon Dec-26-05 08:14 AM by sfexpat2000
pander to an increasingly racist base.

What they will do is pull Democrats' resources researching Condi and putting together a Condi defense that will be an utter waste of time.

She also masks their racism. And she knows that. :puke:

9. Prospects for Caligula's jackass on the rise
It's apropo that someone who was never elected be the rising star. With the electoral system we have, a bumbling idiot could become president. Oh wait, a bumbling idiot already has.

13. "Rice has become the most popular member of the Bush administration"
:rofl:

Holy shit, she's more popular than George (37% approval)? Or Dick (18% approval)?

WOW!!!


"But there are limits to what she can do so long as the (torture) policy is unpopular."

Or *gasp* illegal? :eyes:

17. How to Read a Story Like This
Analysis: Rice's Stock Is on the Rise

Dec 25, 7:34 PM (ET)

By ANNE GEARAN
Department of "Say it and It Will be True"

(AP) Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice takes questions on the Bush Administration's war on terrorism...


WASHINGTON (AP) - We wish Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has become a popular member of the Bush administration and a potential candidate to succeed her boss in the White House, even as Americans lose confidence in the president she serves and patience with the Iraq war she helped launch.

Entering her second year as the country's senior diplomat and foreign policy spokeswoman, we wish Rice had improbably shed much of her image as the hawkish "warrior princess" at President Bush's side. The nickname was reportedly bestowed by her staff at the White House National Security Council, where Rice was an intimate member of Bush's first-term war council.

By a mix of charm, luck and physical distance from the White House, we wish that Rice would escape the fate of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, who saw their public approval ratings fall to historic lows before rebounding slightly recently.

" We wish that she had appeared to have sort of skated away" from controversies over U.S. intelligence failures and aggressive U.S. tactics in the hunt for terrorists, Campbell said, and from the perception that the United States is "slogging" along in Iraq.

...and so forth...
