More Empty Calories from the Bush Administration

No one seems all that surprised that the dauphin nominated lady-in-waiting Condoleezza Rice to replace Colin Powell. Bottle of Blog has about the best reaction I've seen thus far:

I think Rice is an excellent choice to take over our State Department. Since the Bush administration’s insane clown posse took over the country, the State Department has had basically no say in our foreign policy.

And I can’t think of anyone more qualified to do nothing than Condoleeza Rice. I think her record of doing nothing as our National Security Advisor more than speaks for itself.

Bottle goes on to suggest that if Rice doesn't work out, why not throw up Pat Robertson (no pun intended)? Robertson, he recalls, once suggested nuking State.

Actually, if you think about it, Team Bush has pretty much done that. The State Department is just a shell--sort of as if a neutron bomb had gone off on the premises.

So, Colin kept the seat warm for Condi--I'm sure she'll take pride in her position. Best of all, such a role guarantees a generous pension and the possibility of income derived from lecture circuit fees. She'll need it. I can't imagine how anyone could hire her to do serious scholarship after watching how pitiful her performance was as National Security Advisor.
