22. Condi will too

Lying to Congress - on several occasions-- has not been forgotten by certain new committee chairs.

She's used goods and not needed anymore.

12. Don Don Don... You know the drill
Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 07:32 PM by SoCalDem
She only gets promoted.. No matter how much she screws up, the girl is "charmed"..

*² will make her the new VP when Cheney's ticker takes a dive. (his poor health will excuse him from testifying) and of course she will to "too busy" to spend much time in a hotseat investigation chair..

They just have to stall a little longer..

and what better "proof" of diversity, than to be the first party to have a black woman as vice president.

McCain/Rice...'08 (if she's not talked into running for top job)

Mccain's a definite OneTermer, and the path is clear for Jebthro in '12..

20. Huh?
she'd probably have MORE of a chance to avoid being put under oath while in office. Once she's out of office, she has no protections.

25. She is allowed the protections of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Just like any other citizen.

>>>No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.<<<

26. Yes
but THIS administration has taken executive privilege to the extreme. When she's no longer in the executive branch, it's a lot harder to make their case.

Why would a guy like Negroponte move over to State only to be second-fiddle to Condi Rice?:shrug:
