Watching Secretary of State Condolezza Rice spin her web of plausibility around this current White House makes me wonder, how she sleeps at night. How does she face herself in the mirror after spending her day alibiing this Administration. An administration that is arguably the worst since Richard Nixon pushing Ronald Reagan into third place on the best of the worst list.
Everyday brings another lie to light and still she sits there, or stands there with a plausible, reasoned justification for the lawlessness that is passing for governance in this country. Of all the White House staff, she stands alone as seemingly incorruptible by the surrounding corruption, honest in the sea of lies that never end.
Her job is to sell this country's policies to the rest of world. Surely she must see the untenable position she has taken. Or is she getting a pass because she is a woman and a black one at that, doing the best she can by standing by her man.
Colin Powell got out. Condolezza should have followed him. She should have gone back to academia or to the NFL, since that's where she truly wants to be, if you believe the reports or words from her own lips.

Today she offered yet another alteration of the reasons why America invaded Iraq. Tomorrow it will be something else. Doesn't matter. When Dubya wants to lend absolute credibility to his talks he drags out Condolezza or his wife Laura to make it seem more truthful. They stand by him while he cowers behind their skirts.

Standing by her man is what women have been doing for centries. We've been spoon-fed shit for years and convinced ourselves that it tastes good. For whatever reason we believe we have to. Condi is doing what she has to do to pay bills and eat, very well I might add. She supports her boss and thats the bottom line. She is doing a job and getting paid for it. That doesnt mean she has to like it. Colin had a plan B, maybe she doesnt. Im sorry, living in the big house is much easier than working in the fields and usually the slaves that stayed, got all the land. I say pick a battle that you can win.
