Comments on: Rice on Race http://www.neptunuslex.com/2008/03/28/rice-on-race/ The unbearable lightness of Lex. Enjoy! Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:44:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: RedNeck http://www.neptunuslex.com/2008/03/28/rice-on-race/comment-page-1/#comment-426338 RedNeck Tue, 01 Apr 2008 00:04:34 +0000 http://www.neptunuslex.com/2008/03/28/rice-on-race/#comment-426338 I think Lex is right. I don't read foreign policy magazines. I read ones that have to do with fishing. I don't think McCain needs a "younger hipper" running mate... Remember Dan Quayle? Tater Boy? He was an alright fella, or seemed to be, but I'm not sure he was the sharpest knife in the drawer. There were probably better VP candidates to be had back then. I don't recall him being all that impressive of a public speaker. Yeah, he probably had/has a lower golf handicap than Condi, but hey... So what? I think she's probably got him cold on the IQ test. While I'm playin' "chaff boy", when you think about it, if she was runnin' for POTUS for the other Party it's probably a 3 way deal, and she'd be the smartest sounding, most intelligent speaking one of all three of 'em. Hell, IMHO, she's as qualified to be VP as either one of those two are to be President. By the time that peein' match is over people are going to be saying... "Can you believe those two waterheads?, Can't go Dem with my undecided vote this year, Those two are nuts". Maybe Johnny Mac could do better, but he damned sure could do a lot worse. With any swing voters looking at voting for a woman, or a black man, on one side, and seeing what has become the traditional candidate on the other, I think the diversity of that ticket could only help to win. Let the beatings begin... I think Lex is right. I don’t read foreign policy magazines. I read ones that have to do with fishing.

I actually did get picked up six months later, but was not in a position to go then. Besides-thanks to the death of the mid-level program it would have meant a serious pay cut. Alimony is not going to pay itself you know! I don't know where you get the idea that I can't deal with women. I deal with them just fine-like other things in life it is just role playing. As a student of the arts I am well versed in that. RE: Armitage-I had not followed the plame scandal as close as some so finding out he was involved in the leak was a bit of a revelation. Even at that though-he is still light years ahead of Rice. B2,

Why did ya do it? I'm trying. My kids reading "The Elements of Style" by Strunk & White..I shouldn't have used those cliff notes 35 years ago,eh? O'course what I scratch out here I ain't creating for anyones posterity, or should I say posterior? nyuk b2 Snake,

Not that it really mattered. Plame wasn't a covert agent, and therefore no law was broken in terms of "outing" her to the press. Just sayin that I'm not sure I would hold Armitage up as an example of State Department quality. Jim C Wasn’t Armitage the leak in the Plame thing? Not that it really mattered.

Git it now?... Ahh, you nominate Armitage the Large Rat, eh? That figures...What Ms. West said. BTW, I passed the FSO test for political officer and was invited to NYC for an interview in early 70's. Most likely because having all those preppie Princeton grads in the room rubbed off... Couldn't attend because I was 2/3 'rds the way through AOCS (thank you Lord). Sorry to hear you weren't selected. Maybe they saw your blog and thought you couldn't deal with 1/2 the worlds population! Not that I am an expert, either. And finally, I used to read that mag when you were in H.S. and before..not that THAT qualifies me for anything. I do like pics though, and video more, but I'm stuck with dial up and I've learned not to double click on any of your links at skippy-san.com! I could use a Websters though, preferably new, so's I could be familiar with all them big new words you use! ;-) b2 Skippy,
