The Softball Game Continues



Everyone who is in over their head, raise your hand.

I couldn't have said it better myself, so why try? From »«TBogg»«:

"There was once a time when someone who failed so spectacularly in their job would have offered up a public apology and slunk off to a think tank where they could keep up the pretense of thinking with the other Not-Ready-for-Public-Consumption Players. But no. Condoleeza now gets the opportunity to continue to fail upward and, in an amazing feat of physics, drag us down with her. And because she has the full weight of George the Conqueror (who has an army and he's not afraid to use it) behind her, countries that know better will actually have to listen to her, nod knowingly, and pretend that she is good at what she does, making her the Pia Zadora of the State Department.

We should be embarrassed, We should hide our heads in shame that we are so unserious about our place in the world. But when the world is already laughing at our headliner, who's really going to pay attention to the lounge act?"

And in case you might have missed the sobering piece by Sy Hersh in The New Yorker about THE COMING WARS you really need to check this out. Again, The White House felt the need to disavow this one, and my theory about denying rumors applies to this as well!
