    ba da bing.

    she got one right.
  • ShirleyGoodnessanMercy · 1 year ago
    Where the hell is McCain getting the money for all these damn TV ads he is running now? I've seen a million McCain ads lately... and maybe one Obama ad.
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    Obama's keeping his powder dry while McViagra shoots his wad.
    gross but true.

    The Wingnuts must be freeking out.
  • Fireblazes(CheetohsandCatfood) · 1 year ago
    No, they will just say she is being "emotional".
  • mf_roe · 1 year ago
    Sounds like Condi is coming down with brain cancer soon.
  • ClintonHater · 1 year ago
    Off topic: but why doesn't anyone mention McCain being part of the Keating five? I would think that particular "asterisk" on his record would be extremely relevant to what we are experiencing now with the mortgage crisis. It is not an overstatement to say McCain was one of the causes of the savings and loans crisis back in the 80's. And for some reason no one talks about it! Why?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Because America's collective memory does not extend beyond the last two episodes of Dancing with the Stars.

    Sorry for the snark, but if you were to ask anyone under 30 what "Keating Five" means, they'll say it's a rock band.
  • Fireblazes(CheetohsandCatfood) · 1 year ago
    Wasn't that a movie made by the same dude that made "Breakfast Club"?
  • DAB · 1 year ago
    No, probably a jazz group. From the early 60s. West Cost jazz, if pressed on it. "You know, that group that introduced jazz flute? That's them."
  • vkobaya · 1 year ago
    last two episodes of Dancing with the Stars.

    Which is an ABC show, that is produced by Disney.
  • mf_roe · 1 year ago
    Better yet, his son is involved with the current credit crisis. The McCaines are big on tradition.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Why did she say "under" Obama instead of "with" Obama??
  • donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago
    One by one, they'll all try to run away scot-free.

    Condi is beginning to sound like the Log Cabin boys: "See how open-minded I am on this issue? I'm flexible and centrist! Besides, I never really was a Bush Republican; I've always been more of a Reagan Republican. I was just following orders."

    Scum. I hope they all pay.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Hillary is ready to be drafted as Obama's numbers shrink:

  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    the topic is Dr. Rice, if you please.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    I'd vote for Condi in a NY minute. She was endowed with the cojones that were supposed to go to Obama...
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    if she had cojones she'd have left bushco a LONG time ago.
    try again.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Great comments, tls. long day. talk tomorrow...
  • vkobaya · 1 year ago
    If Condi had cojones, Bush would have been pregnant 8 times.
  • kirkaracha · 1 year ago
    "Umm..I believe the title was, 'Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States.'"

    On the other hand, apparently you can bounce a quarter off her ass, so it's a push.
  • chandler_in_lasvegas · 1 year ago

    Funny, now that W and Pickles are looking for houses in urban Texas, all of a sudden Little Liza Rice is crossing the ice flows and throwing cred to Obama. Go Little Liza, go!
  • gumbygirl · 1 year ago
    Condi says: "...there's something to be said for fresh blood." I knew it!! She's a freakin vampire!!!
  • ChrisM70 · 1 year ago
    I am starting to worry about Obama and how far the Republicans will go to win.

    PLEASE READ THIS…

    I just got an email from a distant relative with pictures of Obama’s African relative (or so it says) and innuendos suggesting that he’s not “one of us”.

    If you you do a google search for “MORE FAMILY PICTURES OF THE NEW FIRST FAMILY?”
    you will be SHOCKED at how pervasive this message is. Here is a link to the sleazy info…
    http://conservative-and-proud......first.html

    Furthermore, I tried to do some Google searching for some REAL news about ties between Obama and his (supposed) cousin Luo Raila Oding, so I could de-bunk it, but couldn’t find any real news stories that address the issue - only conservative opinion pieces suggesting that Obama supports an awful African dictator!

    Also, I found ANOTHER website called “Real Democrats USA” that purports to be a “Real Democrats is a grassroots initiative whose primary purpose is to inform and educate”, but appears to be filled with nothing but Anti-Obama material!

    THIS STUFF SCARES ME.
    There are page after page of results that have these phony stories about Obama posted, and they are high on the Google results…

    Something needs to be done about this…
  • donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago
    You sound very CONCERNED! And SCARED!

    But thanks for spreading the falsehoods.
  • whomod · 1 year ago
    Ditto.

    It's way past time to relegate these right wingers to where they were when I was growing up in the 1970's. The lunatic fringe with their crazy "Get Us out of the United nations" billboards on their lawns.
  • donotmakemecomedownthere · 1 year ago
    Sorry. I'm still catching up.
  • Fireblazes(CheetohsandCatfood) · 1 year ago
    See no evil hear no evil , do no evil. Cover your ears and pretend it doe not exist.
  • Rob Mule · 1 year ago
    Condi's tired of being a leper...
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    America will be even better with Dr. Rice in the dock at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, along with her fellow war criminals.
  • tlsintx · 1 year ago
    OT-

    George W. Torture goes to China to lecture them about oppression.
    Can't wait for the China response.
  • mamazboy · 1 year ago
    I wonder if Condi will be saying that when she gets hauled, along with Bush & Cheney and the rest of the crminals, into the world court as complicit in war crimes, which I do hope happens. You know, karma and all.

    I knew there was an intelligent woman in there some where.
  • vkobaya · 1 year ago
    "But there's something to be said for fresh blood,"

    Thud! [Picking myself off the floor] Oh my God! Is this remorse?
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Where can this comment by Condi be found?
  • mirth · 1 year ago
    It's been on Drudge all day. Interestingly, it's now been removed from his front page.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Thanks Mirth: Can this comment be found anywhere on the internet that you know of?
    Also: DHL deal haunts McCain in Ohio>>>
    http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12384...

    Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, received over $600,000 in lobbying fees from German owned DHL six years ago. His job was to convince Congress to allow DHL to buy Airborne Express based in Wilmington Ohio. The deal went through!

    Now, DHL wants to route its packages through Louisville, Ky., a move that would cost southwest Ohio thousands of much-needed jobs. Those working for Airborne Express (owned by DHL) in Wilmington will no longer have jobs.

    This is the kind of stuff that Obama and his campaign should be talking about non-stop in places like Ohio. I don't even near this on the news! Mirth, what in the hell is wrong with people in this country? Why can't the connection of big-business and McCain be exposed in real-time?
  • mirth · 1 year ago
    http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=0808071...

    I think this Breitbart (owned by Drudge's father) article is the one that had been on D's site.

    Update: Duh. Now I see that John links the same article in this post.
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Thanks, I think she's trying to tell the world something. This is a woman who's trying to redeem herself. She hates what she became, and this is her way of trying to tell the world what she really thinks of the Bush administration.

    However, she was a part of it, and sold his lies to the world.
  • mirth · 1 year ago
    I think you are right, both about her guilt and her attempts at redemption.

    Her statements were big, no matter carefully she spoke them. The heaviest hammer the republicans have over our heads is Terrorists! and she is saying Obama will keep us safe.
  • kirkaracha · 1 year ago
    Maybe she's trying to tell us "We are able to keep [Saddam Hussein's] arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Mirth: Right on target. People like her were on the inside, and they saw Bush and Cheney unmasked. Both she and Colin Powell have a story to tell--one that the people of this country need to hear.

    For the life of me, I can't figure out why this isn't news to the MSM. There has to be someone that will take the lead. In any venue, this should be the talk of the day. Yet, they continue to play a trivial thing like Paris Hilton's video non stop.

    You have a former press secretary that says the Bush Administration was corrupt. You have new evidence that the CIA was ordered to manufacture false information on the status of IRAQ before the invasion. Yet, this is not news worthy to the main stream media!

    America is asleep. It's deeply disturbing.
  • mirth · 1 year ago
    The answer, blackwolf, is a simple one:

    The MSM does not want this story told.

    Yes America is asleep, but we have been put to sleep in increments over a long period of time. We are not blameless. No one could rationally argue against how willingly we have accepted our fate. But neither do we carry all of the guilt. The election and the next 4 years will decide if we are worth saving.
  • whomod · 1 year ago
    Only a few more hours until the bloated gasbag Limbaugh comes on.

    I'm willing to bet money that he'll try to use race to minimize Condo's statement regarding Obama.
    (and no "Condo" is not a typo. I for the life of me can't understand where the "i" comes from in CONDOleeza. So to me she's always been "Condo", not the cutsey "Condi")
