Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice experienced the one thing all Bush administration officials fear the most: accountability and oversight hearings.
Stewart: Thank God Condoleeza Rice was wearing the Bush administration's "No comment / I don't recall" amulet of unaccountability...
She inherited it from Gonzo when he left, no doubt.
Stewart: To be fair, it wasn't all 'no comment.' When Waxman asked about last Christmas Eve when a drunken Blackwater contractor shot and killed the bodyguard of the Iraqi Vice President, Rice was more forthcoming.
Rice: "....would remind us it is a war zone and that it is true that sometimes ah.. incidents happen."
Stewart: Let the record state that our distinguished guest from Foggy Bottom is on record as suggesting that ah...bleep happens.
I don't recall remembering.
I think we've passed the point of no return.
"She'd make a GREAT President"
God, what a turd she is....
Bet Condi is beginning to have dreams of being in a war crimes cell for 20 years.
". . . incidents happen."
Wow.
Must remember that one. I'm sure it will come in handy if I ever run over a kid with my car or accidentally-on-purpose shoot someone.
Rufus @ 4:
Doubt it. Only thing she's dreaming of is laughing all the way to the bank in 09 for one last final deposit.
The House of Waxman? (snapping fingers) Gee, where have I heard that before?
Oh, yeah. Here.
Why am I feeling this sense of deja vu?
L.A. Confidential @ 6:
May well be true, but way down deep in her gut the fear lurks.
It doesn't really matter what Jon Stewart does, he always cracks me up just by being Jon Stewart. He did it again here.
Well, the good thing about all of this is that no one will EVER trust ANY administration, democratic or republican, EVER, EVER AGAIN.
"Who could have ever foreseen that a drunk mercenary with a gun and no governing law could cause a problem? After all, we're at war."
The Green Zone can be pretty rough but we're making progress thanks to the surge. Just like in her testimony before the 9/11 Commission, she likes to burn up the limited time with meaningless, protracted commentary. Nobody Could Have Predicted that the worst National Security Advisor in history, working for the worst president in history, would be the worst Secretary of State in history. Or maybe they could...
If Condi ever were President of the U.S., I'd fucking leave this country in a hurry. Seriously. I'm not going to respect a horse as my President.
I'd rather have a horse as preznit than a sociopath.
But the futility of questioning Bushco is all this was about. Until Congress charges these liars with contempt, nothing changes. And Congress is sheepshit cowardly.
And I'd rather have sheep in Congress than Congressmen.
Bit NOLA @ 14:
I could say that about a sheep-load of Congressmen.
Tigerwong @ 10:
Makes sense, the country seems to impeach and kill the good ones .......
The bullshit and lies, always without fail, continue to fly out of Dumbya's second bed partners puke hole.
incidents happen?...must be a sale on shoes.
Stanford University will hire her back.
Winnng the hearts and minds one murder at a time.
Odd isn't it, how the Green Zone is portrayed as a safe zone and thriving markets with cheap rugs abound, when they want to point out the surge is working, and at the same time portray it as a killing zone when shit happens?
at this point, I am too numb to be surprised
other than in their endurance to run in the wrong direction.
As the Ceasar character in HBO's Rome said: " it's only hubris if you lose"
I guess after that it's comedy or dispair.
The 'Green Zone' is NOT secure. What???
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/meast/04/12/iraq.main/index.html
Oh, I forgot. The Iraq Parliament was blown up inside the zone.
Sorry everybody. Sorry.
Condi seems to be, like most bush appointees, absolutely worthless. Couldn't she leave to spend time with her family? Or won't her husb-- I mean won't bush let her?
someone please correct me if I'm wrong...But Condoleeza Rice still hasn't succeeded at anything as Sec State...just like the rest of this admin...a complete failure...It must hurt knowing that your going to go down in history as an absolute failure...the truth hurts.
Sorry I couldn't focus on what Contilingus Rice was saying, I was too busy looking at Chimpy's pubic hairs on her upper lip.
Rufus @ 4:
Can't be any worse than sucking Chimpy's dick for the past 7.
I do wonder who that crone sucking up to Condi at the end was.. But mostly, I'm just feeling sorry for that poor little second grader... Obviously politically abused to the point of delusion...
I can forgive a 7 year old though for thinking something like that..
Hell a lot of em still buy into the Santa Claus bit for a little while longer... but what about the parents of this child... What is up with THAT!!! This rediculous fostering of that kind of mindset in their child... Condi as pres.. Yea... just what we need after George.. To truly finish us off if we haven't already hit the rocks first..............JD
Jack Damage @ 27:
There is no evidence that any such child exists. It sounds like just the sort of bullshit story a pandering politician would fabricate to make points.
Hathorn@28;
Figures... A pandering politican fabricating... Who wouldathunkit... Sounds about like a typical Rudy story.. Hell typical Bush administration story..
Thanks for settin me straight on that... I was really kind of worried about some 7 year old THAT twisted up inside....JD
Just go to show that EVIL liars come in all colors!
Don't care what anyone says, or how "smart" she is.......she is one FUGLY woman!!
Can you believe the sheer lack of integrity it takes to stand before the world and defend a drunken murderer?
Worse, a drunken murderer who has negatively affected our country's standing in the world and weakened our national security.
She has sold our soul and our country's soul.
"Accidents happen?" Give me a freakin' break, lady...can't you do any better than that? Is that what you were callous enough to tell the man's family -- his parents, his siblings, his wife, and/or his children? That a drunken American soldier-of-fortune decided to use this man, their loved one, for target practice...and it was just an accident, so he doesn't have to face any consequences?!? Good god...
What an unbelievable piece of work this woman is. Then again, should I be surprised? Birds of a feather flock together, and all that.
There's not just a lacuna between her teeth, but a lacuna between her ears!
"amulet of unaccountability" - when I heard this line I spewed my lunch - hi-fecking-larious.
I don't recall any amulet from the Gozo hearins.
DAMN! It's got hypnotic powers, too!
ConcernedCanuck @ 31:
Ya know, if that came from one of us Yanks it would be considered sexist or lookist.
But you Canadians, so un-spoiled and precious, when you say it, it must be true.
Don’t care what anyone says, or how “smart” she is…….she is one FUGLY woman!! -- ConcernedCanuck
*************************
Did you mean her face, or her soul? Or both, perhaps?
I'd like to see an "accident happen" to her, actually.
BushCo have doomed our country, and we're going to pay an awful price.
just wait until the amount of Dick Cheney's "deferred compensation"
from Haliburton is finally revealed..
impeach, then prosecute - that's the only solution.
we're going to have a civil war of our own in about five years...
This administration - they just say whatever suits their purpose at the time. Unfucking believable. The green zone is safe or is it a war zone? Which is it?
To be fair, Ms. Rice does have a good build. But that mouth - and the lies it spews...
Loathe as I am, and unqualified, to criticize Stewart, I believe he was being a bit redundant.
After all, Leezzaa's very existence is living proof that 'Sh*t Happens'.
"May I have an opportunity to finish not answering the questin?"
Perhaps all of the Bushies had some kind of pre-frontal implant of some kind that is remotely controlled by some off stage Carl Rove type. Someone asks them a potentially dangerous question and bang! the implant puts them into stupid mode.
Its Hallowe'en after all and I am musing aloud.
Geez, what liberal nonsense! OF COURSE
Eek -- a wicked witch!
Whoops, try again...
Geez, what liberal nonsense! OF COURSE these things happen! You know, hypotheticals that could happen here too, like a drunken diplomatic corps security agent shooting and killing one of Dick Cheney's Secret Service bodyguards, random, routine incidents like that. Heck, happens all the time! Personally, I can't even count how many of Cheney's guards have been "offed." What's the big deal? Nothing to see here folks, move along...
Jack Damage @ 27:
I hear you, but you've got to admit that a second grader from N.C. has GOT to have better judgement than anyone in this administration.
This woman is hor-r-r-r-r-r-rible. Is there not ONE shred of shame in this group of evildoers?
Nobody in Congress should be surprised that mercenary armies like Blackwater would eventually find itself in random, reckless killing of innocent civillians. As far back as 2004, it was reported that Paul Bremer's orders proved why the world abandoned the Bush administration. The Bush administration has done everything with regards to foreign policy for selfish gain of every aspect of Iraq's people and resources.
Here are a few orders:
Orders No. 57 and No. 77 ensure the implementation of the orders by placing U.S.-appointed auditors and inspector generals in every government ministry, with five-year terms and with sweeping authority over contracts, programs, employees and regulations.
Order No. 17 grants foreign contractors, including private security firms, full immunity from Iraq's laws. Even if they, say, kill someone or cause an environmental disaster, the injured party cannot turn to the Iraqi legal system. Rather, the charges must be brought to U.S. courts.
Read this article and you will see why every aspect in Iraq is destined to only get worse because the Iraqi people do not have a voice of any kind in their country.

Condi is the biggest liar on the planet and the media always do stupid segments about her piano playing and "Russian expert"
She plays the piano beautifully, though...
.
Why is Rice still free, not in jail?
.
What a worthless pile of nothing Condi is. I will be so glad when she and the rest of this putrid, God-forsaken administration finally, finally goes away for good.
This latest pack of Condi-lies and the endless "can't comment" "don't recall" of this awful woman leave me speechless. Just when I think we've finally reached the bottom of the GOP sewer, down they go deeper in the muck.
murray hall @ 51:
She plays the piano beautifully, though..
Really??!!??
She has failed in all of these investegations and the sick thing is that she is still in the job
Bluestocking @ 38:
Complete package.......ugliness is just not looks..especially with THAT woman.
Andy K @ 37:
Um, thanks? I sense sarcasm in your post. Unspoiled and precious? Naw..just not as greedy and corrupt as your politicians...not sure why...perhaps it's the constant 365 days/year snowfall.....OR...perhaps it's jealousy...maybe we wish we were hated worldwide too.....or..........who knows.
She plays the piano beautifully, though… -- Murray Hall
*****************************
Give me a freakin' break already...what, pray, does that have to do with this discussion? Is that supposed to somehow make everything o.k. and compensate for the fact that the needle of this woman's moral and/or ethical compass (provided that she can honestly be described as having such a thing to begin with, which is subject to debate) invariably points wherever Bush wants it to -- truth, justice, principle, and even simple common courtesy be damned? What in the name of all that's sacred does playing the piano well have to do with whether someone is a decent, honorable, and praiseworthy individual? Answer: very little. You don't necessarily have to have many -- or indeed any -- ethical principles as such in order to play the piano well.
