Too bad. She has the credentials and smarts to be VP.
Rice says has no plan to run for vice president
Fri Feb 22, 2008
Learn to Trade with a FREE Guide.WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Having long played down the idea that she might someday run for president, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday said she had no plans to serve as a vice president either.
There has been speculation that Republican presidential front-runner Sen. John McCain of Arizona might tap Rice as his running mate.
"I have always said that the one thing that I have not seen myself doing is running for elected office," Rice said at a news conference. "I didn't even run for high school president. It's sort of not in my genes."
While her comments were not a categorical refusal to run, Rice also said she had no expectation of playing a role in the campaign by speaking out for McCain or other candidates.
"We all take life a day at a time in terms of trying to get the job done," she said, saying she planned to concentrate on her work as secretary of state. "I don't expect in any way to be involved in this campaign."

Sometimes I feel like responding to stupid stuff, sometimes I don't. I thought the Chicken Little picture was the most appropriate response. It fits.

I presume to know that you conduct yourself like an angry, uniformed dunce on the board. Sometimes you provide good insight. Most of the time you are a little troll. I just read your comments on the religion board attacking people for no reason. Troll.

Uninformed? Hahahahahaha...this from a guy who believes that Genesis is literally true, that the world is 6,000 years old and that a zombie in a loincloth is the son of himself sent to redeem all of humanity in a desert shithole two millenia ago. That's rich. The very fact that you believe such chutzpah and utter nonsense disqualifies you from talking about any subject in an informed and intelligent manner, including the topic at hand.

Who gives a shit about Condi's credentials.
What matters is how she performed in her job and the consensus is she pretty much sucks
Has anyone read the book "The Commission" yet?
I've heard the author on the radio and his criticism of Condi is scathing.
More here: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/02/04/rice-911-commission/
Shenon singles out Condoleezza Rice as inept, more interested in being President Bush’s buddy than securing the nation. Newsweek editor Evan Thomas writes a preview of the book:
The official ineptitude uncovered by the commission is shocking. Dubbed “Kinda-Lies-a-Lot” by the Jersey Girls, Ms. Rice comes across as almost clueless about the terrorist threat. “Whatever her job title, Rice seemed uninterested in actually advising the president,” Mr. Shenon writes. “Instead, she wanted to be his closest confidante — specifically on foreign policy — and to simply translate his words into action.”
An example of this incompetence is the fact that on July 10, 2001 — two months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks — then-CIA director George Tenet met with Rice and warned her about a threat from al Qaeda that “literally made [his] hair stand on end.” Rice was polite, but gave them the “brushoff.”
The 9/11 commission, however, heard about this meeting only after it completed its report. Shenon reveals that commission executive director Philip Zelikow, a close friend of Rice, stopped staffers from submitting a report depicting Rice’s performance prior to 9/11 as “amount[ing] to incompetence.”

lol. You gotta be kidding. Go back and read your first post in this thread. Pure ad hominem, irrelevant nonsense. Had nothing to do with the thread.

Don't blame be because it went right over your head. You said it was to bad she wouldn't be VP. I said, "I've determined Beach Bum is with "the al qaeda" because only a terrorist tard would like the ignoring of "Bin Laden determined to attack" for president or vp."
Background:
Rice said there were no prior warnings that an attack might happen.
In hearings, she was forced to admit otherwise:
BEN-VENISTE: Isn't it a fact, Dr. Rice, that the August 6 PDB warned against possible attacks in this country? And I ask you whether you recall the title of that PDB?
RICE: I believe the title was, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States."
My post was sarcastic but very relevant to your support of Rice.

Fair enough. But dude, the thread was about Rice running for VP, not me or the Bush Admin.

Nah. Not really. Not accurate. And I typically have no desire to correct this kind of stuff. It's really not that important to me, particularly when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

huh? You said, "Rice says has no plan to run for vice president Too bad. She has the credentials and smarts to be VP" I was critical of your only stated opinion of the topic, that she would be a good choice for VP. How did I not address the topic at hand?
-
Fair enough. But dude, the thread was about Rice running for VP, not me or the Bush Admin.
The bush admin was brought in response to your posting chicken little which was in reply to my criticism of your support for Rice as VP. You took it that way, not me. I'm in the clear in responding to your chicken little post. As for nailing you on it, you can't state an opinion of who you support and expect to have "you" left out. It's your opinion, when people are critical of your opinion, you are attached. I see that as fair game.

You addressed me, not my opinions, with one exception:
"I've determined Beach Bum is with "the al qaeda" because only a terrorist tard would like the ignoring of "Bin Laden determined to attack" for president or vp." = ad hominem
"He's working us over on 'the internets' to drive us fucking insane with the god's dumbest freaking opinions." = attacking opinion
"Oh yea, and he's not a republican or a rightwinger He's an independent so he says" = ad hominem
"All I've ever seen him do is pick the extreme right/psycho neocon shit as being the thing and trash the left in his so suddle way of not quite posting what might be used against him.... Where's the puke smiley." = ad hominem
Comparing me to a terrorist, attacking my politics, and attacking whether I support "extreme right/psycho necon" stuff had nothing to do with the topic at hand.
