How quickly Condi Rice forgets
Condi Rice wants Cuba to hold free and fair elections in Cuba.
''At this significant moment in Cuba's history,'' Rice said, ``we reaffirm our belief that the Cuban people have an inalienable right to participate in an open and comprehensive dialogue about their country's future, free of fear and repression, and to choose their leaders in democratic elections.''
I have no problem with that, but I guess she forgot that our Supreme Court stepped in and decided the 2000 election for the very free and fair people of America.
Typical neocon nonsense: democracy at any price, even against our own interests.
Give me a break. The US doesn't care about spreading democracy, especially when democracies in other countries want policies that Western investors object to. We'll see how much they care about democracy when the Cuban people chose something other than what Washington wants. Then what? How much does the US respect democracy in Venezuela, Bolivia, Haiti, etc? No one, outside of ignorant US nationalists and the international right wing falls for this nonsense.
Ha ha! HAAAaaaaa hhhhaaaaaa. He heeeeeeeee haawwwwww.
That is all.
For a split-second I thought that was a picture of Prince. THAT would have been cool.
Oh another example of how "intelligent" Congo-Lisa is!
''We urge the Cuban government to begin a process of peaceful, democratic change by releasing all political prisoners, respecting human rights, and creating a clear pathway towards free and fair elections,'' Rice said .
Again leading by example, I see...
It is unalienable rights. What a bimbo!
I know it's not really on topic but...
What's with the outfit? CFM boots and a Sgt. Pepper's jacket, strange....
El @ 5:
"Congo-Lisa"? I think I saw that on Stormfront once.
Thank you, Condi, for reopening that wound.
Well, since WE don't have truly democratic elections here in the US, maybe we should move to Cuba in hopes that Bush's warmongering buddies don't try to interfere there and give them some Iraqi-style "democracy"...a vain hope.
Meanwhile, Rice and the rest should keep their mouths shut and their big noses out of other countries' affairs. The very presence of Bush and Cheney in the White House demonstrates how little our system is worth.
and to choose their leaders in democratic elections...
Ooooh, us too, Condi??? Please?
It's ok just as long as she doesn't wear traditional Somali robes.
Why they hate us? Cause of bullshit like this. Does it even occur to her that people are strapping on explosive vests because they think America is trying to police the world. Then she says some shit that reinforces that belief with crap about how we KNOW absolutely the best way for every country to be run AND we'll do whatever we can to make it so.
I guess she forgot about our gulag in Cuba and Abugrahib. Please let the trials begin. We are being ruled by insane sociopathic sadists.

I say its about time we start cleaning up our own country and let the people of other countries worry about their details. I'm not against stepping in and stopping the genocide in Darfur, but when it comes to unpopular leaders like Saddam or electoral policies like in Cuba, I think those people can work it out or ask for help before we step in and make a mess of the situation. Damn.

Didn't she go holidaying with her boyfriend (er Bush) in Africa? Would that not explain the boots? And the whip and handcuffs in her hand?
It's gotta be the shoes!
Shiny shiny, shiny boots of leather...
Bah! I want to reaffirm that you can shut the hell up, and go play yer piano Condi, you worthless excuse for a human being...... I further want to reaffirm that I believe it would be a prudent move on the part of my nation and its sorry excuse for a government to leave Cuba the fuck alone for five frigging minutes and leave them in peace to figure out just what the hell they want to do for themselves by themselves for a change ...
That would be a refreshing change of pace from the last 45 fucking years or however long it's been of living with this cold war Cuba bad, Castro Baad, must restore Batista lovers to power bullshit, I have been living with my whole fucking life!!!! Hey, little Havana of Miami? It's fucking over and has been over since even before your granddaddies little bay of pigs fiasco.. You people ain't gonna get your plantations back, nor your banana groves nor your fucking casinos..Not none of it.. comprende? That shit is 50 years ago now... Get the fuck over it and build a life in this country... Or not! I don't fucking care either way anymore... Get on a goddamned cigar boat and speedboat your asses back to Havana instead, and start over back there again, if that's what makes ya happy...
But whatever you people do, ya might as well get it thru your head that Cuba, I guess-- if the last 50 years is any indication, likes its' little version of socialism and does not plan to change back to whatever form of Batista corruption it used to exist under to please your exiled asses this far down the line, just because 'you guys' don't like and never did like Fidel Castro... Not gonna happen.... Apparently not happening any more than my hope of seeing George W. Bush impeached.... Like Nancy says.. just not on the table hombres' tough breaks all around I guess......JD
Doublethink is a form of trained, willful intellectual blindness to contradictions in a belief system. Doublethink differs from ordinary hypocrisy in that the "doublethinking" person deliberately had to forget the contradiction between his two opposing beliefs — and then deliberately forget that he had forgotten the contradiction. He then had to forget the forgetting of the forgetting, and so on; this intentional forgetting, once begun, continues indefinitely. In the novel's notes, Orwell describes it as "controlled insanity".
In the case of workers at the Records Department in the Ministry of Truth, doublethink means being able to falsify public records, and then believe in the new history that they, themselves, had just written.

Nice link, Rusty!
Now I know what it is that Jack Donaghy saw in her!
Hey Condi!
Let's achieve that in our own country first perhaps rather than have everyone wondering if our election process will be hijacked once again via machines and other shenanigans...
America Democracy died the day the Supreme Court overroad the will of the people and selected George W. Bush as criminal in chief.
This administration wants everyone to have democratic principals and hold "free and fair", everyone but the U.S. that is.
They just want us Americans to be fat, dumb and happy, and keep a closed mind.

Andy K @ 26:
Ewwww
Condi should be more concerned about free and fair elections in the U.S. instead of telling Cuba what they should do. Condi turn that pointed finger around at yourself and your own nation
Hey condi would those free and fair elections be undermined by the Bush administration just like they did with the Palestinians who voted for Hamas. And then Rep Ros Lehtinen and Rep Lantos immediately pushed for cutting off all humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. Smart really smart.
Maybe the Cubans in Florida who helped steal the 2000 selection will get more involved with undermining such an election.

Rusty Shackleford @ 30:
Slowww down there, hoss...It's not a Condi thing, it's the boots! I have known women- some friends and some not- who didn't do a thing for me in the attraction department, who I saw in boots like that once, and.....It's not a fetish thing, really...Just sayin'...
I don't understand why anyone even cares about Cuba--small, irrelevant place on which we have a military presence, so it's no threat or danger.

I am sure I've seen those boots, legs & leather in a CRUSH Video. I just wonder now if it was W's balls she was crushing? Or were they Cheney's?
It could have been either of them if the tiny shriveled penis was any clue.
I heard this quote on the radio this morning and thought, "what qualifies this woman to say such things? The fact she is "married" to the most unpopular president in American history?"
RancidVenison @ 6:
so true, the usa (bush)wants you to do what we say,
not violate the law like bush does at every convenience for
bush and cheney.
Do you think Bush had to ask her for a "bathroom break" when he saw those boots?
andrew @ 34:
This is a paragraph from a letter sent me by a friend, Dave. His first visit there was in '04, this was his second trip. He got to be there when Fidel stepped down.
My address is 302 Amistad, and the street name itself has so many obvious and trite symbolic parallels that I won’t even go into them, allegorically or metaphorically. Now that I’ve said that however, I can tell you that virtually every one that you were thinking of is true in some sense whether it is intra-Cuban enslavement of individuals both physically and intellectually, or the mass confinement physically and economically as a result of geopolitical forces and embargo. This real Cuba I refer to, is hiding behind the wooden slats covering the windows of an ornate 1920’s Victorian brownstone with a corrogated steel roof and no running water. It is looking out the doors through metal bars, it is playing baseball on street-corners with a broomstick and a twist-off plastic bottle cap. It is chipped paint, brick streets, food shortages, pollution, and high infant mortality rates. It is a fascist low-grade police state with virtually no respect for anything that would resemble constitutional rights, and in many cases even basic human rights. Fuck what Michael Moore and Sean Penn think, this place sucks and both Castro and the US government policies are to blame as they feed off each other symbiotically. Ali needed Frazier, McEnroe needed Conners, Hugo and Ahmadinejad need George or the US in general, and Fidel and his Socialistas need the evil US as we demonize him. It's Orwellian a la both Animal Farm and 1984.
[Emphasis added.]
A few things you might disagree with (Dave's mis-use of the word fascist bugs me a bit), but it's an eyewitness view from a liberal guy that I trust.

You're forgetting the first rule to fair elections:
Elections are only fair if they elect the candidate that the thugs in the US Government have already decided on.
Hammas got elected fair and square after all.
miss_kitty @ 61:
Maybe I'm crazy, but do you think that it will probably cost more to save NOLA than it would to, theoretically, aid in rebuilding Cuba? When you consider how much it will cost to save southeast Louisiana from sinking into the gulf.....Yipes!
Andy K @ 43, your "liberal" friend may want to take the time to actually check out infant mortality rates 'cause he sounds like a stupid winger since Cuba's rate is lower the the US's. Add the ignorant fascist thing(shades of goldberg) and I don't see many intellegent people believing anything he says. And since he hates it there so much WTF is he doing there? Trying to exploit the Cubans?

Oddly riveting...
I thought the problem with American Foreign Policy was primarily a Middle East issue.
This reminds me that it is not, unfortunately.
Anyway Condi's boots do not appear to be the latest fashion.
Just sayng .
Not to mention the fact that the Bush administration apparently has little regard for the recent "free and fair" elections in Pakistan, since they reportedly want Musharraf to be allowed to remain in power even though his party was defeated...
Still whining over the 2000 election after all these years.
[Deleted. Quit spamming threads with the same message and quit posting in ALL CAPS-Sitemonitor]
I wonder if Condi's thinking about HER "legacy" too? Off the top o' my head, the only thing she seems to have brought to her years of government service is...well, I guess it's those boots. I can't think of a gosh diddley darned thing she's accomplished.
At all.
And I'm seriously trying.
Remembery when there was that push a few years ago for her to be the GOP Presidential nominee? Man, them days are gone...
doesn't anyone find it ironic that we RUN A TORTURE CHAMBER on Cuba? every time we hear talk about human rights abuses there, there is a glaring lack of that accompanying information. why?
BAHCGTH @ 72:
We're whining over the 2004 elections. Keep up! Thanks for reminding us about the fixed 2000 election though. It gets hard to keep all the scandals straight.
"Not to mention the fact that the Bush administration apparently has little regard for the recent “free and fair” elections in Pakistan, since they reportedly want Musharraf to be allowed to remain in power even though his party was defeated…"
McCain and Hillary will continue that support for Musharraf the dictator. We have supported many dictatorships over the years. . And one way or another, the GOP will never ever ever ever ever allow Obama to become president.That means the Pakistani coalition will erode once Obama is out of the way, which is too bad. The US certainly has a way to fuck things up both at home and abroad.
Condi is WAY too busy buying shoes to actually know WHAT THE FCK is actually happening in the real world. Jesus, she is freakin' Alice in Wonderland!
Slightly off topic, but wouldn't "doubling Guantanamo" as the dearly-departed Twit wanted to do (maybe McBain too, now that torture is "in" again, maybe with Condi's boots) require more Cuban soil for it's expansion? You'd think that would require opening dialog between them and us.
Or maybe just imminent domain?
BAHCGTH @ 72:
Stop whining about Clinton, and his supposed "scandals."
Does kindanasty rice police her leather stiletto boots with georgie's semen or tongue?

I meant polish her boots not police.
I wonder how much she many tricks she had to turn... er...I mean how much money she had to lay down for those boots? Two, three grand?

When you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you do is stop digging! (h/t Molly Ivins)
Condi's trying to enhance her legacy, just like George. Having lived through the Florida debacle in Florida, I agree with the writer.
I'm with Condi on this one. No way in the world should this country tolerate brothers doing any kind of election fixing. Now, if I could only go shopping with her at Nordstroms..

If Kerry was the best the Dems had to offer, blame your own party for offering up such a loser.
If Cuba was a manufacturer of designer shoes she'd be singing a different tune.

Wow... she's looking more and more like a storm trooper every day!
I wish someone would ask a politician why we have relations with Vietnam and China, but refuse to talk to Cuba. Hell, China ran over their own people with tanks and we actually had a war with Vietnam. Total hypocrisy!!! The native people of this land aren't getting their property back; the blacks aren't going to get their 40 acres and a mule and the Cuban exiles aren't ever going to get their plantations back. Talk about free elections, please; when has Cuba EVER had free elections. The courrupt and racist Batista was a-ok with the U.S. government.
To 58&92, More Nazi references, that's just classy.
you people are stupid bunch of idiots just wait until hillary or obama get in office and watch what happens to our country.dont say i didnt tell you so.
The lady who loves to forget.
I love it!
Now get her the hell out of there, already.
