NIGHTMARE #2 AVOIDED: Condoleeza at State

We could have been in for Nightmare Number Two: Condoleeza Rice as our Secretary of Defense. Putting her at State is better.

She can do less damage there than she would have done at Defense--where she lacks any qualification for the job. A woman running the Defense Department? That's like a man being asked to give birth. Preposterous. Her motivation? Keep an eye on the boys, make sure they don't misbehave on her watch. Turn the Kings into Jacks and Jokers. Be the Queen of Spades.

How presumptuous of her to request transfer to the post when it's still occupied. This shows a lack of respect bordering on lunacy, and an appalling lack of sense.

The State Deparment has been more fully correctized and diversified even than the Army. They've been run by a Jewish woman and a black man. They're perfectly primed for a black woman running things.

This Hadley guy might be a rubber stamp but he'll be better than the dingy-sweatered school marm peering severely at the Prez to make sure he doesn't act up.

What a ridiculously painful creature she is all put together.
