The Rice Confirmation
After a delay caused by Congressional Democrats, Condoleezza Rice will be confirmed as Secretary of State this week. What do you think?
Ted Ramos,
Upholsterer
"Great. Now the public face of U.S. diplomacy is that of a pissed-off terrier."
Michael Shaw,
Systems Analyst
"Ms. Rice should make an ideal Secretary of State. She's already proved to the U.S. that she can evade questions in front of a Congressional panel."
Colleen Burns,
Appraiser
"I say, why not give Condi a shot as Secretary of State? It might help her self-esteem and encourage her to start taking an interest in her appearance."
Peter Swain,
Unemployed
"The implications are profound. She's paved the way for a black female to perform with the Capitol Steps."
Gregory Gordon,
Cashier
"So she had to explain why she's the best candidate for the job? Big deal. I had to do that last week when I applied at Panda Express."
Joy Mattingly,
Designer
"Twenty years ago, I never would've believed that we'd have a black, female Secretary of State, much less one who was a conservative warmonger, too. We've come a long way."
