Rice refuses to answer questions about Middle East, but says Colts will win Super Bowl

[Bluebear]

P.S. Regarding the Colts, "And that would be a good thing," WHY?

====
02/02/2007 --

She made clear Friday that she wants the Indianapolis Colts to win the National Football League Super Bowl championship game Sunday over the Chicago Bears, but her words were measured.

During a photo opportunity to tell Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov goodbye, the two refused to answer questions about the Middle East situation, the subject of Lavrov's visit. Then, as they turned away, a reporter asked Rice to forecast the outcome of the top U.S. sporting event of the year.

"I really like both Chicago and Indianapolis, but I think Indianapolis is going to win it," she said. Then, as if it were an afterthought, she added: "And that would be a good thing."

1. Disgusting....

I hate it when these people try to be cute. This reminds of the idiot child looking under his chair for WMDs...Oh ho ho ..sooo funny.

2. Piss off, Condi.

[YDogg]

3. The end of this mis-administration cannot come soon enough.

Any way we can fast-forward to Jan '09?

[gratuitous]

4. At least she's clammed up about stuff she doesn't know about

I mean, why in the world would anyone ask Dr. Rice a serious question about the Middle East? You'll probably come away from the encounter dumber than when it started.

5. Iraq is the political football that should be punted into the end zone.

[Jack Rabbit]

6. Well, she knows more about football than about the Middle East

[TheCowsCameHome]

7. ...which is nothing................

[lligrd]

8. Can't We Just Give Her A Team

on the condition that she refrain from ever entering politics again?

[LiberalFighter]

13. A team in a different galaxy

[saltpoint]

18. Yes. "A different galaxy."

One that's far, far away.

Really, really far away.

[LiberalFighter]

19. Wherever she turns there is a black hole to suck her in.

[saltpoint]

20. The woman does have some strengths, I admit.

For example, she scowls as well -- or better -- than anyone in recent public life.

I believe she could out-scowl a puma.

[LiberalFighter]

21. Puma wouldn't bother with her... not enough meat for a meal

[saltpoint]

22. LOL!

[peekaloo]

9. Well considering her "gift" of prognostication(s)

the Bears should win.

[mw]

10. Uh oh. Kindaweasly just jinxed the Colts

I expected the Colts to win, but with Condi for them....they must be losers.

11. What the hell are we paying her for anyway? What the hell does this woman do all day long?

She's got to be one of the most ineffective SOS we've had. In the past you would always hear about the SOS office sending a diplomatic team or envoy here or there but this bunch seems to do nothing as problems spiral totally out of control. Its unbelievable.

[Bluebear]

12. I have no idea.

Truly all I will remember her for is not imagining planes could be used as weapons and shopping for ferragamo shoes.

[Cass]

16. No kidding. What a legacy. nt

[H2O Man]

14. There is an article

on Rice, and a brief Q&A, in the new TIME that came in the mail today. She does not inspire confidence.

[Individualist]

15. I didn't have a preference in the Super Bowl until now,

but tomorrow I'll be rooting for the Bears!!

[saltpoint]

17. When she leaves office, which can't be too soon for me, I think

Condoleezza Rice should sell Tupperware in the Seychelles.

She can bring an iPod to listen to Brahms on the beach.

[librechik]

23. she will also discuss 70s hairstyles.

like hers.
