If you've ever wondered about the relationship between Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Vice President Dick Cheney, the above photo should answer any questions. Secretary Rice re-affirms their symbiotic ideology in an interview with The Wall Street Journal editorial board where she suggests pardoning Scooter Libby, the vice-president's former chief of staff and now a convicted felon.
SECRETARY RICE: I'm not going to get involved in trying to give the President advice on how he ought to think about this. You know, he has to think about what he wants to do...Let me tell you what I think about Scooter Libby. I think he's served the country really well. I think he did it to the best of his ability. I think that he is going through an extremely difficult time with his family and for him. And you know, I'm just desperately sorry that it's happening to him and I—you know, the legal system has spoken, but I tell you, this is a really good guy who is a good public servant and ought to be treated in accordance with that.
There is a growing conservative chorus for President George W. Bush to pardon Cheney's disgraced aide. You'll recall, last week, Lewis "Scooter" Libby was convicted of four counts of perjury and obstruction of justice and sentenced to 30 months imprisonment. Cheney's former top aide disclosed the name of an undercover CIA agent in order to discredit critics of the Administration's proposed invasion of Iraq.

She reminds me of the Hollywood movie mammy who declares, "I'll kill any of you Yankees that tries to touch my young Mis's. Just try an' put yo' nasty Yankee hands on mah pretty little white chile and I'll kill you where you stand"

Every time she opens her mouth to promote this banana republic of an administration, I keep wondering where is that alleged, brilliant black woman so many have called her? Just put her in a long plaid dress and a doo rag, and she would be better saying, "don't nobody go talking about Scooter or any other Repugnant in this adminstration, they are all saints trying to save the world and spread their version of democracy." 18 months and counting, and hopefully she will marry her a man, if she dates them, and move to Montana.

Scooter Libby should be shot as a traitor, not jailed as a liar.
His boss, ElDuce should should be shot and then hung from a lamp post.

George W. Bush is a gangster, albeit a dumb one. He’s a gangster raised by a gangster who was raised by a gangster who was raised by a gangster, as surely as any Mafia son.
Dick Cheney is a gangster. A smart and very rich one.
What is Condoleezza Rice? If nothing else, she is proof that the human mind is capable of holding any contradiction, in believing in any delusion, no matter how “brilliant” it is measured to be.
