whenever condi talks i get sado-masochistic visions of leather


She's talking again.

President Bush's national security adviser said on Thursday that the Clinton and other past administrations had ignored evidence of growing terrorist threats and that despite repeated attacks on American interests, "until Sept. 11, the terrorists faced no sustained, systematic and global response" from the United States.

"They became emboldened," the adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said of Al Qaeda, "and the result was more terror and more victims."

With these comments, in a speech in New York on Thursday evening to the National Legal Center for the Public Interest, Ms. Rice waded into what has become a central theme of the early days of the 2004 presidential race.

Lying. AGAIN. Because not only is it not true, there's a shitload of documentation (including a BEST SELLER, damnit....Age of Sacred Terror? Hello?! I read the damn book five times, I know who was concerned and who was not like the back of my friggin' hand.) that says previous administrations WERE concerned with terrorism. Very. Reagan was (sorta). Bush I certainly was. Clinton had two major attacks in his first administration, granted one was home-grown so his certainly was. And this one is too. BUT. . . they DID have that 9 MONTH POLICY review that ended with the now infamous August ranch trip (and that infamous August 6, 2001 memo) . . .

She has to be the most evil woman in the world. And I bet she knows it, too.

And I'm pissed as hell because the debate has now been framed. All previous evidence to the contrary is now false. 2+2=5. Red is really blue. Up is down. Black is white. Water runs uphill and shit really doesn't stink.
