Dowd pegs Rice as weasel, sycophant, liar, loser.

"The United States government does not authorize or condone torture of detainees," she said.

It all depends on what you mean by "authorize," "condone," "torture" and "detainees."

Ms. Rice also claimed that the U.S. did not transport terrorism suspects "for the purpose of interrogation using torture." But, hey, as Rummy likes to say, stuff happens.

As chatter spreads about Condi as a possible presidential contender, we are left wondering, once more, who this woman really is. Is she doing this willingly, or is she hemmed in by the powerful men around her? As a former national security adviser who has had the president's ear for five years, did she try to fight the appalling attempt to shred the Geneva Conventions, or did she go along with it? Is she doing Vice's nefarious bidding on torture, just as she did on ginning up the case for invading Iraq?

1. MoDo must be going NUTS over the "My husb...." comment.
and not being permitted to use it since it was at a special NYT reception for Rice.

8. Here's one that doesn't know better.
To paraphrase Lloyd Benson, "Dr. Rice, you are no Madeline Albright."

13. This is good.
The media should focus intensely on "Condi Quotes" all day, every day. The woman is such a liar.

The problem with being a high official in the government is, the tape recorder is always on. Someone is always taking down a quote. People are comparing notes, paying attention.

THAT's what will hang her, more than anything else. Her big mouth and all the lies that come out of it.

My view of that university has just nose-dived. What a disgrace.
