Kay I really don't have this post all the way put together but I'm sick and tired of not posting anything. So I'm going with what I got.
Condoleezza Rice approved by senate foreign relations committee
The vote was 16-2 in favor of confirming her. And our two winners are:
Senator John F. "I Just Horribly Lost A Presidential Race But I Went To Vietnam" Kerry, and...
The Right Honorable Senator Barbara Boxer (D)uh-People's Republik of California, who from what I understand was vigorously opposed to appointing Dr. Rice. She had these important things to say:
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...Oh, I'm sorry, Senator, you seem to have lost all credibility. Therefore, anything you say from this point on is null and void.
I was only able to catch bits and pieces of Condi's interrogationconfirmation hearing, but most of what I saw was Sen. Boxer looking like an idiot...
...again...
...and Condi giving her the Blank Stare of Contempt. She's got it down good. As one who has used said Stare extensively, I can tell you that her technique is perfect. Basically the Senator would bring up a bunch of nonsensical crap and Condi would just GAZE** at her. I was waiting for her to just jump up and say "Stupid woman! I am Condi! Comb your hair, hippie!" But I guess that wouldn't be diplomatic, and that is her job now. From the snippings of her speech that I was able to catch, it sounds like she'll basically tell stupid countries to piss off. I like that.
As far as our two wayward senators, hey, I'm not down with being political. If you think something's not right, call it. Even if it goes against what everybody expects.
Sadly, I'm reasonably certain that's not the reason those two voted against her. Hmm. Kerry. "Your boss just kicked my pinkytoe, and I'm mad! Mad, I tells ya, MAD!"
And, of course, Boxer. Whatever. Reminds me of this congresswoman who voted against the war, back in September 2001. I don't wanna hear your excuses, lady- and I don't care if you're from Berkeley- what were you tring to prove? That was just a grab for attention, and it worked. I'm still babbling about her idiocy now. I should stop.
Anywho. That's what I got. Had to post something, I was about to go blogcrazy. More stuff you should know later on.
*- the phrase "I heart [insert person or thing that you heart here]" is a registered trademark of SarahK. Oh, and so is "pinkytoe". And I believe that the actual words "I heart Condi" have been used previously either by her or at IMAO.
Gotta watch those copyright infringement lawsuits.
**- what one does to a troll. Condi must be a regular at the Empire.
UPDATE: This cartoon sums up the whole issue. Fun-knee. Cox & Forkum rule.
