Pass the No-Doze. Two hours into Condoleezza Rice’s 9/11 hearing testimony is anybody still
awake? A typical Condi sound-bite: “We were looking in the context of the plan
that gave a better regional context …” Zzzzzzz.
To “the sleaze factor” and (thanks to columnist Nicholas von
Hoffman’s apt coinage) “the swine factor” in describing the W Ltd. gang, let’s
add (thanks to the National Security Adviser) “the snooze factor.” That’s the Condi
context. At any rate, she may well be remembered as Condoleezza (“Cover Your Ass”)
Rice.
