Mrs. Sherrod Brown taking flack, because she doesn't admire Condi.
Connie Shultz, aka Mrs. Sherrod Brown is a long time columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. She wrote an article about the 3 women she most admired, and got a messages wondering why she left Condi off the list.

She explains why here. I say good for her.


I can't be proud of war advocate

Plain Dealer Columnist

Condoleezza Rice certainly has her fans -- but I am not one of them.

This apparently offended some readers, who've weighed in since I wrote a column about three women on the national scene who make me proud.

The focus in that column was three women on the cutting edge of new leadership: Drew Gilpin Faust, the first woman to become president of Harvard University; Hillary Clinton, the first viable female candidate for president; and Nancy Pelosi, the first woman to serve as speaker of the House.


Why, some readers wondered, did I not include Secretary of State Rice?

Many suggested I excluded Rice because she is a Republican, which is not the case. I don't know Faust's party affiliation, and I don't care. My objection to Rice is not to her political party, but to her relentless support for the war in Iraq. On that, we could not disagree more, and gender has nothing to do with it.

1. How the hell could rice's performance over the past 8 years
make anyone proud. She, like bush has been a miserable failure. A consistent failure since January 2001. Obviously failures make "conservative" lunkheads proud. Good for you MS Schultz. Keep telling the truth, nothing pisses a bush supporter off more then the truth.

2. Is Mrs Brown black like her husband?
White house spokesman and war hero rush limbaugh told his flag waving audience before the election that sherrod brown was black so there is that everpresent racial component.

13. Alas, one can not hear the tone in print
So the sarcasm tag is necessary. (No matter how sarcastic or ludicrous you are, if it has anything to do with bush* it can be way over the top and still be true!)

7. I think you are being a little unfair
limbaugh (and a whole bunch of chickenhawks) were right about Vietnam and wanted no part of that mess. That's why they chose to serve in America and share their patriotism and heroism from behind a microphone. Now that they are older and much wiser they see the benefit in our staying in Iraq for fuckingever while continuing to send our kids in harm's way. If you and I wait long enough we will awaken to their wisdom as well.

12. Where were they when I needed them?
I could have used their leadership back then before I enlisted.

14. We've already been told by a Condi co-worker that she's a clueless putz.
We've seen and heard it for ourselves, fer cry-eye.

Some folks need to get out more often.
