You just can’t make this stuff up. From The Associated Press, under the headline, “Rice worried by Putin’s broad powers,” we learn the following:
MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian government under Vladimir Putin has amassed so much central authority that the power-grab may undermine Moscow’s commitment to democracy, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Saturday.
“In any country, if you don’t have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development,” Rice told reporters after meeting with human-rights activists.
“I think there is too much concentration of power in the Kremlin. I have told the Russians that. Everybody has doubts about the full independence of the judiciary. There are clearly questions about the independence of the electronic media and there are, I think, questions about the strength of the Duma,” said Rice, referring to the Russian parliament.
Now substitute “White House” for “Russian government” and “Kremlin,” “George W. Bush” for “Vladimir Putin,” “Washington” for “Moscow,” “presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton” for “Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,” “Americans” for “Russians” and “Congress” for “Duma.” Then shoot yourself in the head in order to save precious bullets for our valiant comrades in the KGB … pardon me, the Department of Homeland Security. And to think they once said irony was dead.
Blah, blah, blah
Oi vey.
Let me try this another way.
Imagine a less than sign here. “DrunkardRamblings” Imaging a greater than sign here.

Condi licks the sweat off my balls.
I wouldn’t let her NEAR my balls with those teeth!
Fuck that sell-out cunt. Hate…her…SOOOOOO much.
I really hope she doesn’t go back to Stanford. Then she and Rummy will be together again, and that will be a REAL hoot.
I wonder what color the sky is in her world?
Her greatest mistake was falling for Georgie and letting that white boy lead her on.
Another shining example of Universalism from the american perspective. We can do no f-ing harm. We are righteous becasue DOG is on our side. All other countries are run by little girls.
