As the violence between Israel and Lebanon (both U.S. allies) reached its 17th day with no signs of abaiting and with everyone from former President Clinton, to Richard Armitage, to Kofi Annan, calling the violence counterproductive, the American public can take comfort in knowing our failed Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, hasn’t lost her ability to compartmentalize.

Flying to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to attend the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Regional Forum (ARF) after failing to broker a cease-fire between Israel and Lebanon in a meetings in Rome, Rice delighted her Asian hosts with a performance of brooding works by Johannes Brahms.
Looking like a drag queen in a red satin dress, Miss Condi Lingus told her audience, “It is a serious time, it is not a time that is frivolous, and I will play something that is in accordance with my serious mood.”

ROFLMAO! Miss Condi Lingus. Ouch!
Say again why this woman got the job as Secretary of State? She has no qualifications beyond the fact Bush considers her his 2nd wife. The reality is, her appearance at the Rome summit resulted in nothing – she left with what she came with, then she’s off to play the piano for an association in Asia? Did she serve them drinkies too?
Christopher,
From your own blog, the Insight piece on Rice that stated:
The Dump Condi chorus include Newt Gingrich, Richard Perle and leading current and former members of the Pentagon and National Security Council, have urged the president to transfer Miss Rice out of the State Department and to an advisory role. They said Miss Rice, stemming from her lack of understanding of the Middle East, has misled the president on Iran and the Arab-Israeli conflict.
“The president has yet to understand that people make policy and not the other way around,” a senior national security policy analyst said. “Unlike [former Secretary of State Colin] Powell, Condi is loyal to the president. She is just incompetent on most foreign policy issues.”
Her piano recital ought to push these neocons over the cliff!
And yes, she looks like a drag queen.
That’s the gist of the problem with Rice and for that matter, all the members of the Bush administration.
“Loyalty” to the president has replace competency. As long as you’re ready and willing to kiss Bush’s ass and tell him how wonderful he is, then your job is safe and you’re free to screw up anything.
Condi told her audience, “For my next selection I’ll entertain you with a special favorite of the President, Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow-Up to Be Cowboys.”
Wouldn’t it have been a riot if Condi performed a rousing cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Ain’t No Way?” Hahaha! But that would’ve meant girlfriend is black and by now everyone knows she’s no sister.
You guys are only spoofing on her because she’s black.
Anonymous is right: this is a KKK blog and we all sit around making fun of African Americans.
LMAO! So, I guess the neocons like Pearle and Gingrich and Sen. Kerry are all racists too, right?
Climb back under your rock.
it ain’t racist to call a spade a spade and say girlfriend looks like a drag queen. just cuz she married to Bush don’t mean she get a pass for looking like sheeyat. hell.
I’m still trying to figure out what Rice did while sitting on all those corporate boards and getting paid by them? Can I get one of those jobs? I’m educated, well groomed and I can speak a clear, congent sentence.
In the lead-up to the U.S. invasion of Iraq when the administration was working 24/7 to sell the idea of going to war to the world, I recall Rice saying something along the lines of “Iraq can do nothing to avoid confrontation with America.” Then she went on to make this stunning claim, “the world should be very skeptical of Saddam denying WMDs.” Well Condi, nearly 4 years later and it would seem you didn’t know your ass from a hole in the ground because no WMDs were found in Iraq, Scott Ritter was correct after all, and your boss has managed to create a terrorist state in Iraq where none existed before.
You have almost as much credibility as Katherine Harris. But just almost.
The Nazis liked to unwind to live piano music, often played by talented jews. No matter how hidious the events of the day had been, the SS General would like kick back and listen to some classical piano music.
Conid may be able to play the piano, but her mini concerto in Malaysia suggests to me that she’s the one getting played.
Someone please stop her before she strikes again!!!
The fist conection I made when I first seen this news item. Condi plays her piano as the world burns, as Nero was reported to play his fiddle as Rome burned. I’m certain, that would have enter ny mind no matter what race or gender of condi. Just like the snowflake children PR stunt, I’m left what where they thinking?.
