I am going to assume that nobody’s ever going to read this, and skip any introduction or explanation. If you’ve stumbled upon this page, I apologize, but not too much.
My friends and I were waiting for Ghost Hunters to come on the SciFi channel last night. While we were waiting, we switched over to Comedy Central and watched The Daily Show. On it, there was a clip of Condaleeza Rice, and an interview with Madeline Albright. One of my friends, a female, started ripping into Rice as a liar, manipulative, and “it’s a shame that she had to be the first black female to rise that far” or some such comment. Then she praised Albright as being intelligent, funny, and all around likeable.
This annoys me. I don’t care what my friend’s politics are, but the fact that she’s decided that Rice is evil while Albright is good, despite the fact that they both are intelligent, manipulative, funny, and occasionally dishonest, bothers me.
All politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths.
All politicians will do everything in their power to slime the other side.
All politicians are looking to ensure they stay in power.
Especially coming on the heels of Albright’s outright lies she told a couple of days ago about Clinton being offered binLaden by Sudan, the idea that she’s some sort of saint compared to Rice was just ridiculous.
Anyway, Ghost Hunters was fascinating.
