WASHINGTON - At the White House's request, confirmation hearings for Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) as secretary of state will not begin until Congress reconvenes in January, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday.

When President Bush (news - web sites) nominated his national security adviser to replace Colin Powell (news - web sites) at the State Department, Sen. Richard Lugar (news, bio, voting record) said he would try to bring his committee together in the first week of December to begin the Senate confirmation process.

"The White House suggested that that would not be appropriate — that is, in December," Lugar said on "Fox News Sunday." "So we'll not be having hearings in December, but we'll have hearings as soon as possible in January."

and they know knee-jerk party loyalty is the only way that bitch can get confirmed in a job she is so ill suited for.

BushCo shoving that proven incompetent down their supine throats.

Even if it's only a delay, or a drop of false hope, thanks for the reprieve.

up in December?

After Powell leaves, they are going to leak all sorts of dirt in a preemptive strike.

. . . Can America be without an effective Secretary of State until next year?

:D

is it a holy month?

from her 'surgical procedure'? Anyone seen her lately?

tubes tied isn't she?

because I really think Rice is so intimate with W that ANYTHING is possible...

My God, she reads the news for him, chews it, spits it onto a spoon and he swallows without any further chewing.

major orthodontia.

We can be thankful she has chosen not to reproduce (that we know of).

I could be wrong, of course.

When you have no foreign policy. After all we do have a Secretary of War ooaah I mean Defense.

when she appears for her confirmation hearings, assuming that Bush did really win Ohio.

If Rummy were to leave, * may just give Condi Defense instead of State, which is what she'd prefer. This could be a reason for postponing confirmation as Sec. of State.

He's been EVERYWHERE but here.
I like to think of him as the Cher of the Bush Admin.

He needs Powell Farewell Tour t-shirts.

Even if you believe the WH handouts she is the one person responsible for the fact that 9/11 was permitted to happen. She was told by Clark, CIA, FBI, and the tooth fairy that bin laden was going to attack the US with airplanes, and even approx. when. She positively ignored them ALL.

I prefer the LIHOP or even MIHOP theories myself. I find it just incomprehensible that all of these people involved in our gov't f***ked up, all at the same time, and all in the direction of NOT protecting the Conintental US. I'm no statistition, but this begs to be examined by one. What are the odds?

It's a smart move to delay her confirmation hearings. Can't have the bobbling head of Condo Lizard on Terrorvision during the Holiday Shopping Seize-on; might serve to depress sales and would certainly frighten the little children.

:evilgrin:
dbt

That's only good until the next Congress is seated so that would be January. I think.

The cheerleaders of the world have taken over. First GW as a former yell leader stumbles onto the throne and now who could be a bigger rah rah girl than Condoleezza?
