Dick’s still hard but Condi’s gone soft

while dick continues to wolf down ideological viagra, what’s happened to our favorite, ferragamo-wearing dominatrix…?



the nyt asks
Has the Bush administration gone soft on its foes?

…said Daniel P. Serwer, a vice president at the United States Institute of Peace and a former diplomat who served as executive director of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group… said,. “[I]t’s absolutely clear to me that you have to talk to who you have to talk to, in order to get things done.”

careful, condi… dick ain’t a pretty sight when he’s pissed off… more interesting to me, however, is who’s twisting condi’s arm…? she may have academic smarts, but in the 6-plus years she’s been sucking up to george (see previous post), she hasn’t exactly demonstrated much of a capacity for either intelligent or forceful action… could it be…?
At a dinner and lecture on Tuesday night at the Library of Congress, it looked like a reunion of the pro-engagement crowd. Seated at the front was former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, along with the new deputy secretary of state, John D. Negroponte; also in attendance was Robert L. Gallucci, the former chief United States negotiator during the North Korean nuclear crisis of 1994.
It was a veritable bevy of advocates of realpolitik, headlined by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, who told the audience, “America must be prepared to talk to our enemies.”

a-HA…! why, it’s that sly old fox, james baker, again… funny how he just keeps turning up… it looks like poppy is doing everything he can possibly do to save george’s sorry ass from total and absolute disgrace… i wouldn’t be at all surprised either if it wasn’t baker who maneuvered behind the scenes to get dick out of town… it was probably easier to stage-manage some of this stuff while darth was ensconced in his “high-tech” trailer, jetting around the middle east…
