Fat chance
I don't think we need to be concerned about the political future of Condoleeza Rice. She is a key member of a criminal gang that illegally and with malice aforethought seized control of the Federal Government. As long as this criminal gang fails in its attempt to bomb and invade Iran, justice may yet be served.
The real test here is of us, the citizens of the United States of America, in our ability to recognize and properly respond to the presence of a criminal organization at the top of our governmental structure. Bush, Cheney, Rice, and the all-too-numerous other sociopaths that operate the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our Federal government really don't amount to much as human beings, and will fade from the scene shortly. What does matter is the future of the planet, of life on the planet, and if our system can survive such criminality.
I actually think of Bush as a blessing in disguise. What if he were brilliant, an evil mastermind who schemed successfully to hold the entire world at bay, to institute a crony capitalist police state that would be beyond our present imagination?
We are lucky he is an inarticulate, bumbling incompetent. His perfidy has ruined it for the power elite that backed his reign of stupidity. We may actually get a real democracy thanks to him. All hail George W. Bush, idiot king! Pose again for another photo op! Ride a motorcycle! A hot air baloon! Go bungee jumping! Dress up as an astronaut! Wear a Patton outfit! A football uniform! Biker! Indian chief! Cowboy! Construction worker! Policeman! Make a disco album!
It has been surreal, but if we are lucky, we will have learned a great lesson from having had this regime in power. If we want to survive as a country and as a species, we can never let this happen again. Never!
