Snip:


WASHINGTON - It was a long interview in Moscow, and maybe she was tired from her travels, but for just a moment Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared Wednesday that she would seek the U.S. presidency.

"One day you will run for president?" Rice was asked on Ekko Moskvy Radio.

"President, da, da," Rice readily replied.

"Nyet, nyet, nyet, nyet," Rice quickly added, taking herself out of the race as fast as she'd gotten into it.

1. I knew it!

Been saying it since November.

34. The evil Daughter of Satan rises from the cess pool

[crispini]

2. Is anyone surprised?

:puke:

[Zynx]

3. Oooofff. She would be a terrible president.

[question everything]

33. Not worse than the current one

and it least she would be more articulate and intelligent and will know how to pronounce the word nuclear.

[Montauk6]

4. I WAS ABOUT TO SAY!!!

I glanced at this and thought Lil' Con was having a Curly Shuffle breakdown!

[stevedeshazer]

8. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

[beyurslf]

5. Racist Republicans in the south voting for a Black Woman? Not going to

happen and they need the south to win.

[vpigrad]

11. They no longer need the south when...

they control all of the machines! They can do anything they want to now.

[TheDebbieDee]

16. I agree with you, Vpigrad. I can't even get excited about

Gen. Wesley Clark running in '08 without a Senate voting history to plague him. It all comes down to those damn non-verifiable voting machines that these repukes keep in service.

We won't get a decent President until we get rid of those damn machines - or make it mandatory that these voting machines print paper receipts for the people that use them!

[Maddy McCall]

21. Racist. sexist Republicans all across the nation would not support her.

Racism and sexism are not purely southern phenomena.

[southlandshari]

30. Thank you, Maddy.

:thumbsup:

[Melynn]

41. Plus she is somewhat pro-choice

which Freepers will never accept.

[oldtime dfl_er]

6. I'm ornery

And I don't like the way this article makes excuses for her before it even tells us what she said.
Anyway, I thought she was fluent in Russian??? How hard is it to mix up DA and NYET??

[stevedeshazer]

10. Bingo

And Bush is fluent in Spanglish.

I heard him say, "El Caso Blanko"!

[karlrschneider]

18. I could imagine Chimpy saying "Mi vivo in la Queso Blanco"...

:eyes:

22. ¡Adoro queso blanco!

7. I think she was falling into cult mode there...

She heard "president" and thought to herself, "where are my kneepads," then said "da, da" to convey some sort of positive emotion about *. When she figured out the actual question, backtrackola.

But that's just my take. ;-)

[Deja Q]

9. President da da? I'd no idea 3 year olds could run...

[Career Prole]

17. Pet names...

How very precious!
:rofl:

[Art_from_Ark]

19. President DaDa

Isn't that what they used to call Idi Amin?

[drdtroit]

12. God have mercy on us!

After massive corporate giveaways, the merciless slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people, the total undermining of the American economy and the total destruction of the middle class, the GOP is now going to ram Condi down everyone's throat to prove they are the party of diversity, eh?

I think not! :patriot:

[thebigidea]

13. "maybe she was tired" - crack journalism from Kid Scoop, there

"And when a Russian girl asked how she could become like Condoleezza Rice, she replied in English, "I don't want to talk about myself."

if only she would extend this practice to not talking about anything to anyone, ever.

[SpiralHawk]

14. Frankly, I mistrust Ms. Rice

it's her general demeanor. Her angry eyes and sneering lips. Bush smirks, but Rice sneers and grimaces, like Dick Cheney, only more guardedly.

At any rate, I have been blessed to know and be friends with dozens of powerful, intelligent, vivacious sisters over the years, so I feel my impression of Ms. Rice does not come from a natural bias of some sort, but rather just from recognition of the ferociously dark cloud that hovers queasily over and within her. I mistrust her greatly. She failed the nation inexcuseably on 9/11, and then baldly lied about it. She appears to me to be someone sitting on a keg of repressed fears (among other demons). I want her away from the helm that steers the badly listing Ship of State, the S.S. ChimPee.

My unsolicited prescription for Ms. Rice: some deep breaths in the great out of doors. Maybe a 4-day, 4-night solo fast, sitting up on a medium-size mountain, with just a blanket for comfort about the reality of the natural world. Animal relatives and birds would come to visit, and the plants would show themselves if she would see. I would go to the Grandmothers, and ask them to pay Ms. Rice a visit while she sits alone on the hill. They might go.

You can send me my tobacco by carrier pigeon, Ms. Rice. I will offer it up for you in the shimmering desert.

Meegwich, SH

20. She's All But Forgotten Nature, Spiralhawk. And Her Forgetfulness Is

probably what causes the fear you hear in her voice.

[Boo Boo]

26. I get the the distinct impression

that solitude is actually the problem here, rather than the cure.

If you follow my drift.

[Hekate]

29. Lovely vision, SpiralHawk

Your vision of a vision-quest for this scary woman is paradoxically (or not) healing for this reader.

15. For someone whose job was National Security Adviser

she sure has a lot of slips of the old tongue. Reminds me of the time she let it slip about her husband. Despite those short skirts and long legs, I can see whose been wearing the pants in the family.

[serryjw]

23. Nothing these people do is an accident

Everything is perfectly planned and orchestrated. In 2007 section 5 of the Voting Act of '65 is up for renewal. I can see Tom Delay ( yes, yes he will still be there) stand in the well of the Congress and rant "why do we need the Voting Act of '65 when we have a BLACK WOMAN running for the Presidency"

Get the picture?"

[fortyfeetunder]

24. Da da, I mean nyet nyet

Really, this is definitely a plant for abolishing affirmative action, etc. if Rice is let into the White House.

[leesa]

25. Your reign of terror is almost over, Psycho Queen.

[DulceDecorum]

27. Oprah will save us from Condi.

EVERYONE will vote for Oprah.
And she is OURS.

DRAFT OPRAH WINFREY.

[Zynx]

28. She's pro-choice. Not gonna happen.

If it does, we may win 50 states thanks to the Christian Party.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

44. When has she ever said she was pro-choice?

[Toucano]

31. Four "nyets" aren't enough, Condi.

Russert will still ask you if you're running.

[question everything]

32. Didn't she, by mistake, referred to Bush as "my husband?" n/t

[earth mom]

35. So Condi as Prez will make * what? First Husband?

Opps, that's right, Dubya is married to Laura, NOT Condi. :eyes:

Somebody better remind Condi of that one, as she often seems to forget which lie is which. :freak:

[BadNews]

36. She could win

For every redneck white bigot who only votes for for the white guy, there is a woman, or an African American who will vote for her only because of her gender or ethnicity. For that reason, I believe Hillary is the most likely bet to beat her. She would do much better than a white male for the Democrats in that situation.

Having said that, due to the racists, I doubt Rice will make it out of the Republican primary.

[DulceDecorum]

38. You saw the African-American response to Clarence Thomas

they HATED HIM.
Most African-American and Civil Rights organizations including: the NAACP, the National Bar Association, and the Urban League, opposed the Thomas nomination.

No-ONE whose head contains a functioning brain
will vote for Condoleezza Rice.

[tavalon]

45. Sorry BadNews, you are wrong

Women of all races vote for democrats more often than the white males do. And blacks, male and female, aren't falling for her crap now and there's no reason to expect that they will start.

[DulceDecorum]

37. Pravda slaps Condi

Whether of not President Vladimir Putin changes the constitution of his country, using the legal norms available to him, is his business, the business of the Russian organs of state, the Russian people and nobody else, certainly it is nothing to do with Condoleezza Rice, who might anyway wish to remember that it was her country which lied about the threat posed by Iraq and launched a shocking act of butchery in which tens of thousands of innocent people were slaughtered. This is "very worrying", yes? Or is it no, no, no, no, no, no, no?

While Condoleezza Rice stated that her comments were made in friendship, it is easy to say that after having been insulting and an extremely rude guest. It is like being invited to someone's dinner party, insulting the chef, spitting on the floor, breaking wind loudly and then apologising.

Hardly the behaviour required of a lady.
http://english.pravda.ru/mailbox/22/101/399/15326_condy.html

They shouldn't give her ideas.
Her husband was once
vanquished by a pretzel
and her father-in-law almost caused several Iron Chefs to commit seppuku
after he barfed on the Japanese Prime Minister.
Them Russians got off lightly, and no, she ain't no lady.

39. I will grow wings and fly to the moon

Before the republicans nominate a black woman to be president of the United States

42. i thought it bore repeating too.

[Krupskaya]

43. Yep, that's native level speaking, all right.
