That’s the trouble with PDB’s. They get a couple hundred of them a week that cross their desk and it’s impossible to act on every one.

Let’s refresh our memories about Rice’s appearance before the 9/11 Commission. . .

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.”

I’d never seen a government figure incriminate herself like this. She humiliated and shamed her very own self. She should go crawl in the hole they dragged Saddam Hussein out of and never come out.

I’d still choose McCain over Billerie and adding Condi into it would just make that more likely.

I’ve been guilty of major gaffes more than once in my life, and strongly suspect that everyone reading this blog has also. I’d be inclined to give her a pass, much like I’m giving Obama a pass on his affiliation with Wright. However, I’m not giving Obama a pass on his economic plan. I saw an interview with him on CNBC today and find his ideas to be very scary.

Here’s a transcript of his interview:

Scary, indeed.

Both Condi and Hillary have had days where they didn’t bring their A-games. I often have a hard time assessing Rice, though. Sometimes I think she’s a fairly smart woman who’s trying to avoid getting Colin Powellized by a stupid administration. Other times I remind myself that she SAW Colin get Powellized by that administration and chose to take the job anyway.

In any case, if you have her job and you’re speaking on the record in that context, there’s really not much excusing “Soviet.”

Dr. Slammy,

She wasn’t playing her A game that day. I’m sure we’ve all had days like that, I know I have. I guess that she’s just human….like Hillary:)

Condi's huge brain wasn't so much in evidence this day.

The woman has a brain the size of 5 planets.

I admire her.

Who besides me thinks that adding Condi to his ticket assures that McCain will be in thrall to the same cabals that control Dubya?

Not that he isn’t already, of course….
