Expect to hear a lot about Condi Rice this week

[underpants]

It is "Master's Week", the golf tournament, and Condi is one of the TWO women who were allowed to join Augusta Country Club over the last year.

The other woman is Darla Moore

"It was awesome," said Mickelson, 42 --Said of RICE
"She's one of my favorite people," Mickelson said. "She's got the greatest personality and attitude, and she's so much fun to be around. She's so knowledgeable about world affairs. It's just incredible. It's a great experience."

1. Expect to hear more of her in 2016...she is one of a few who may be Jeb's VP

Being that Hillary will kick Jeb's ass, don't see it helping or hurting him any.

Now I have another reason.

5. Not only his knee deep in Exxon money his former main sponsor was war profiteer Bearing Point

Bearing Point was basically the rubber-stamp consulting firm that signed off on most of the wasted money in Iraq and Afghanistan.




BearingPoint arrived in Afghanistan after the collapse of the Taliban to advise the government in 2003 on economic restructuring. The multi-year $170 million USAID contract provided technical staff to the Afghan Ministries of Finance, Telecommunications, Economy, Commerce, and the Central Bank, Parliament and office of the President. Deliverables included bank licensing and supervision, creation of the capital notes market, monetary policy to limit inflation, privatization of the telecom sector, creation of a telecom independent regulator, modernization of customs and taxes, and the introduction of the commercial framework and laws.[20]

One such project relates to a $240 million USAID contract for assistance in the development of a competitive private sector in Iraq, where according to a federal investigation the job specifications had mostly been written by BearingPoint itself, effectively excluding competitors from the bid. Ultimately, however, BearingPoint won the project in open competition. This contract led BearingPoint to be listed as the number two "war profiteer of 2004"[21] by the Center for Corporate Policy, a think tank founded by Ralph Nader.[22]

3. being a war criminal is usually a male thing perhaps that is how she got in

why can't they just keep that stupid game on the golf channel

like watching paint dry

4. Let's get one thing straight

These woman did nothing.
The good old boys at Augusta deemed them to be the right window dressing to give the appearance that they opened the Boys Club at the course.
Condi did not break any barriers or bring change to the institution, she was invited as a stunt.
They still have not opened general membership to women.
They are still misogynist assholes.
If Condi had refused membership umless they changed their rules, THAT would have made a difference.
But like always, she just goes along with the bullshit.

Fuck Condi Rice.

6. "Fuck Condi Rice?"

Damn, I thought you were my friend!

8. If she's so smart, why did she always come across to me as a dumb fuck.

Most of what she says is close to Sarah Palinesque in making no sense. Mickelson probably isn't too bright either.
