Condoleezza Rice For VP
Aug 17th, 2008 | By Courtney Messerschmidt | Category: Asides
GrEaT sAtAn”S gIrLfRiEnD formally endorses Dr Condoleezza Rice as GOP VP candidate.
Politically - it’s the killer move - totally marginalizing the Donkey Party with a self made grrl on the ticket. The powder puff pieces in the Lame Stream Media would be sweet. “OMG! Didn’t know she knew innocent victims of the Birmingham bombing way back in the day.” Or “Her fave color is peridot - she loves chocolate chip cookies!”
Her positive ratings are almost nigh unchanged since day one - 69% - way better than HRC, John Edwards - or any GOP contenders.
Any flak on Iraq will seem like sour grapes completely owned by the ‘defeat, retreat and repeat” posse.
Dr Rice would most likely point out that unhinged neoconphobic regimes, fanbois, ammoral realpolitikers and boring isolationists are way out of touch.
“The process of democratization is likely to be messy and unsatisfactory, but it
is absolutely necessary. Democracy, it is said, cannot be imposed, particularly
by a foreign power. This is true but beside the point. It is more likely that
tyranny has to be imposed.
The story today is rarely one of peoples resisting the basics of democracy –
the right to choose those who will govern them and other basic freedoms. It is,
instead, about people choosing democratic leaders and then becoming impatient
with them and holding them accountable on their duty to deliver a better life.
It is strongly in our national interest to help sustain these leaders,
support their countries’ democratic institutions, and ensure that their new
governments are capable of providing for their own security, especially when
their nations have experienced crippling conflicts.”
Plus, Dr Rice could be essential in the wake of rowdy Russia. Projecting the sexyful appeal of democrazy and constant confrontation and selective intervention for nations that seek to draw closer to Great Satan in scary parts of the world.
And finally turning loose America’s preimer Kremlinologist with an ubound agenda on Russia would most likely fit Senator McCain’s vision of future world - where intolerant bullies, creeps, jerks and retards are - their own choice mind you - marginalized, co opted, democratised or annihilated.

Super saavy history and current events. My superior intellect and easy going smartassticness armed with a chaotic emotion meter gave me a formidable ability to be independently dependent.
Currently exiled in Hillbillyland, I wield a vocabulary far above my tiny tiny weight class and have traveled widely including Europe, the Middle East and Alabama.
I like Am Ex, Carte Blanche, Discover, Mastercard, Ray Bans, Visa and devouring American Dollars in alarming quantities.
Though Rice might be a good move politically (as in having her as VP would help McCain win), I don’t think she’d be all that great in general. I used to like her, but she’s become increasingly idiotic in recent years.
Of course, the most important thing this November is making sure Obama does not get elected, so McCain needs to pick a VP who would help him win the election.
I like Rice, actually, though I’m not sure everything she’s done re: Annapolis was correct or wise.
I don’t think she’s ripe, however. Perhaps in 2012. Perhaps a run for some governor’s seat or senate seat.
Then again, she’s black, female, young, smart. Just the thing?
I don’t know. I think maybe we need a less hawkish VP on the ticket (not that I’m against hawks, I just don’t know if a hawk will help McCain win….)
I like Palin, but perhaps too much stigma re: the recent scandals in Alaska? Pawlenty perhaps…
Rice’s recent essay in Foreign Policy magazine makes a great case. Annapolis was actually a very clever step. First off, it proved that since 21 members of Arab League were willing to officially recog Little Satan - then what the heck was so magical about HAMAS? Also Annapolis completed the isolation of Gaza Strip (till the January border break - which in a way proved the HAMAS can be totally marginalized.
‘Acting like an idiot’?
Currently as Sec of State - she’s prett much bound by what the Pres wants. Same thing as VP - though to be fair - the influence and prestige would carry far more weight.
As the autocrazies rise, solidify, ally and prep to act out against any democrazy in weapons range - Dr Rice would be perfect for a fully crunk menu of constant confrontation and selective intervention.
Her track record and bona fides are well intact. No shame in her game.
Good points, Courtney.
Got a link to that Foreign Affairs essay?
I was all for Condi as VP, but I just don’t think it’s in the works. I think Bushies are all anathema right now, at least to the strategists. In my mind, a black female with her record would be great. I just don’t think she’s really a candidate at this point…sadly.
I am curious to read that essay though….
Hi E.D., sure here it is:

Massive, yet light - pefect beach reading.

I think Condi would be an exceptional choice - not sure how the conservatives would feel about her (is she pro-choice?) but I think she could be great if she passed the social conservative test. Charming, brilliant, accomplished - and - heck, she’s a person of color, so Barack would finally have some competition that he couldn’t claim was racist!
I pray McCain chooses wisely. Good post, thanks!
