You could park a Buick between her front teeth.

Nice Lucy Van Pelt do, Condi.

@Mean_Ol_Liberal: Exactly. Ain't gonna happen. A horrible, no-count SoS with no lasting legacy.

Russia is angling for renewed importance. Anti-American sentiment is high east of Europe. The Slumbering Bear has awakened for summer, and she smells fresh Yankee blood.

@KarenUhOh: Ignore that puff. It's just Nero looking for a working match.

Too black and female for Republican voters.
Too grossly incompetent and Neo-Clowned for Democrat voters.

And The Economist feigns progressiveness again within its persistent White Man's Burden.

Look, we all know she's been one hot mess with the War on Terror (tm), but remember: she's a Sovietologist with advanced comprehension of drunk-Yeltsin slurred Russian, and probs knows all of Putin's secrets. If we re-enter the Cold War, she's our next John Foster Dulles. Oh wait, he was SoS too, not president...my point is, we've not seen the end of Condi's career, oh my goodness no.

Let's face it: we're a nation more upset about Paris Hilton not doing enough jail time than about Ragged Dick and his Amazing Barely Talking Bush doing none.

There's no reason to believe this round-the-clock Ream-a-Rama won't continue. That burbling puff you hear is the republic giving its last fart over anything important.

Listen up, suckers. If Dick Cheney decides he wants to appoint this bitch preside, then that's exactly what he's going to do. Unless you want to see more kindly old Republican lawyers shot in the face.

Now get back to reading about Lindsay Hilton Spears and leave the non-coverage of politics to the pros.

Truly, the gaping, drooling ignorance of the nuances of American politics among the UK mediarati is nothing less than absurd. Beckett couldn't have written anything more dissonant than their coverage of the US presidential races. According to half of them, the front runner is Fred Thompson.

Thank you for that last paragraph. Let me be first to recommend My Cock as a write-in on 08 ballot.

Madame_Ovary — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 19:00:31 EDT

She reminds me of Nurse Ratchet. Not sure she is black or a woman. That aside, the voters usually go for Governors, since Gov.s have at least some experience with a budget, though in the present administration, that hasn't helped a whit.

A black woman with unflinching loyalty to the most unpopular president since Nixon? I'd say she's a shoo-in.

@Colonel Mustard: Schwarzenegger can't run for president

Not according to the fine film, Demolition Man. And if it's in a Stallone-Snipes vehicle, it's good enough for me, and should be good enough for you.

@Clarence Rosario: Schwarzenegger can't run for president, so they're looking for the next best thing that wasn't born in Austria.

@karion: I agree -- "tin ear" is the wrong term. "Brass balls" or "middle finger to the American public" might be more apropos.

karion — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 18:15:57 EDT

Bush just commuted Libby's sentence.

Absolutely no one in this administration is accountable. It might not be a case of them having a tin ear - more like a realist perspective.

Rice could someday be the Schwarzenegger Republican the party is looking for.

Um, isn't Schwarzenegger already the Schwarzenegger Republican?

Maybe if she wasn't a toadying tool whose most recommendable trait is her facility for blind obeisance to authority, sure -- she'd be a bang-up president!
