Condi's On-Air Suicide
Urban Legends abound of on-air suicides. Of course, they're all fakes.0 comments
Until now.
From today's New York Times:
The White House announced late Thursday that Ms. Rice was willing to appear before the panel again, but only in private and not under oath.
We are seeing the very public dissolution of National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice's entire political career. She certainly is finished in the eyes of the American public.
She has created (with the help of the man for whom she'd lie on a grenade) her own immutable, unsolvable Catch-22.
She can either:
- Agree to testify under oath and spill ALL the information she possesses as to the incompetence of the men around her, leading either to the immediate fall of George W. Bush's administration, or to John Kerry winning this fall's election by acclamation.
- Agree to testify under oath and lie, and spend the next ten years playing cards with Martha Stewart and running from some woman who insists Ms. Rice is HER property;
- Continue to refuse to testify in public and under oath as many of her NSA predecessors have done, thereby proving once and for all to the American people that she indeed has much to hide, is lying, has no moral compass whatsoever, cannot be trusted, is obviously unfit for the office she holds and must be removed from it forthwith.
Not bad.
Your move, Candi.
P.S. It was a joy hearing someone actually use, "scurrilous" in a sentence.
