Condoleezza Rice was having an irony blow out yesterday as she traveled the world and babbled from her mouth. Our Secretary of State decided to criticize Vladimir Putin’s power grab and to tell Israel not to mess up the peace process. This coming from a woman whose boss seems to think diplomacy is evil and his presidential power is above all other branches of government. Bush is the ultimate unitary president, which means Condi should shut her pie hole when it comes to criticizing other countries democracies.

How the fuck she could make these statements about Putin with a straight face is amazing.

Uh, hey lady, does that sound familiar to you at all? Seems you just described a fella named George W. Bush. He is actually your boss. Ever hear of the Department of Justice scandal? Read about any of his judicial appointments lately? Recall the 2000 Supreme Court decision that put him in office?

You should read this thing called the Patriot Act. It sort of undermines “liberty and freedom” here in the US. The "Right to assembly?" I guess that is why your boss has been using "protest zones" to keep anyone who disagrees with him far, far away. And I would consider warrantless wiretapping an “arbitrary power of state,” by the way. Same goes for kidnapping people off of streets around the world and detaining them without charges for as long as we like.

Does Putin deserve to be criticized? Yeah. Should it come from anyone working in the Bush administration? Fuck no. The White House lost that right long ago.

Thankfully, Condi wasn’t done making an ass out of herself yet. Rice arrived in Israel today, in a pathetic attempt to get the peace process going. Kind of odd for a woman who helped start a “pre-emptive war” based on false information to think she can talk peace. But healthy shame has never been a part of the Bush White House.

Oh, yeah. You’re the expert on avoiding actions that might lead to conflict. When I think of Condi Rice, I think of white doves, peace and happiness. She certainly isn’t a liar. She definitely didn’t have a hand in selling false information to the American public. And she has always been about the truth and peace.
