Hubris, Chutzpah...Thy name is Condoleezza.
Yesterday our (self) esteemed Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice,
opened her address to the Women's Foreign Policy Group with these words:

"I am the latest in a long line of distinguished women to address this group."

Hey Condee, hope you didn't sprain your shoulder patting yourself on the back.

1. Her comments on Guantanamo are interesting
She would really like to have Guantanamo closed, the president too.

2. You've distinguished yourself, alright Condi.
And our country may never recover from what you and the Chimp have done....

5. I guess it depends on what "distinguishes" her.
Edited on Tue Dec-11-07 08:47 AM by BleedingHeartPatriot
If she's remarking that she's the U.S. Secretary of State who's racked up the most unmitigated international diplomacy disasters, she has certainly distinguished herself in ways that her predecessors could have never imagined, and those who follow will probably never match.


Heckuva job, Condi. :toast: MKJ
