Putting aside how nice and Christian Condi is, can anyone list the achievements of the Dept. Of State under Codi? What successes would you point to? Is there anything in her answers that trouble you? Is it acceptable to point to claims that have been totally proven to be false as a justification for war? Do you really think she has fessed up sufficiently to the things she believed were true that turned out to be false?

I don't personally like O'Donnell much but it seems to me that Rice has never taken responsibility for her role in being taken in by flawed intelligence. I understand it could happen, but I don't see any evidence of success to offset the failure. Please enlighten me.

Condoleezza Rice is a Christian and loves the truth. Christianity matters greatly because Christ is the launching pad to know what truth is. America used to have more citizens like her. That is why there is a leadership drought in America and she stands out so dramatically.

She needs to run for president. She's the best candidate the Republican party has.

Lawrence O'Donnell is such a leftist tool. He kept trying his Saturday-Night-Live-Styled, "Jane, you ignorant sl..." commentary on this tough, intelligent, articulate, composed woman, Condoleezza Rice, but it didn't work. It was as if he was a child hurling insults at a grown-up. I was proud to watch as she showed her character and composure, but you could see her disgust for him in her eyes; she was excellent at remaining un-flapped by his leftist craep and demeaning, twisted (spun) BS.

Condi, you are indeed a rare woman, informed better than most, wielding a memory like a steel trap, and you are wise far beyond your years. After watching that interview, and how you angered O'Donnell with facts and truth, I could hug you!

We conservatives need to see more of you on the national stage. Please do not go quietly into the night.

Reminds me of a joke:

How do you make a conservative angry?
tell them a lie.
How do you make a liberal angry?
Tell them the truth.

"Lawrence, you are quite ill informed."

She says it all as the last statement of her interview. One who obviously has his head screwed on so backwards is no match for a powerhouse of a lady who has logic and facts on her side.

Condi could wipe the floor with Obama in any debate. She could beat him although she's never held elective office. She would siphon off the female vote and even some blacks from Obama!

Where does she stand on abortion? The economy? Immigration? I could back her in a race.

This man, in addition to being rude and "ill-informed" appears to be a misogynist and racist judging by his abusive treatment of a former U.S. secretary of state.

O'Donnel is not the dumbest person on TV...well, maybe he is, but what is obvious is his hate. He is certainly full of it.

Condoleeza Rice is so classy, she was more than intellectually capable of handling an ignoramus like o'donnell....he came out of this debate looking like the arrogant self-opinionated dick man he is, and she shone like a diamond amongst the dross... well done, ma'am

O'Donnell:
"Condi, since we all know you became Secretary of State,
wouldn't you agree those piano lessons were just a waste?"

"Secretary Rice, we now know you were the National Security
advisor, weren't those ice skating lessons a silly decision?"

"Madam Secretary, we all know New Orleans was destroyed
by a hurricane, wasn't it stupid to build a city below sea level?"

"Why did you let them build a city full of Black Americans there?"
"Since you obviously don't care about Black Americans Condi,
do you also support the racist Tea Party movement Miss Rice?"
"Is being racist a prerequisite to joining the Republicans now?"

"Please understand Secretary Rice that I must interupt all your
answers because I think this interview is all about my opinion"

"Yes Condi, Barbara Boxer gave me a call and explained how
you were the greatest threat to Obama, our greatest President"
"You must be taken down a few more notches, sorry Miss Rice"

With all kidding aside, watch this interview. Is there a classier Lady on this planet?
I would do everything I could to help her gain the nomination and lead my country.
Can a woman lead a nation? Let's ask Maggie Thatcher: Who grew a bigger pair,
Condozeezza Rice or Barack Obama?
