International House of Horrors: Mammie Condi...

Never one to be really political on this blog, I did run across an article from the 7 May 2007 issue of Newsweek Magazine that just brought home the messed up state of US leadership. It was an article containing an excerpt from Marcus Mabry's book Twice as Good: Condoleezza Rice and her Path to Power, the title coming from Rice's assertion that being African American she felt had to be twice as good in order to be as effective as a white person doing the same job.

But that's not what I'm writing about.

One of the pictures in the article shows then National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in the Oval Office with then Secretary of State Colin Powell and President George Bush. But what's horrifying is what she's doing: picking nits off George Bush's suit! Do you think Colin Powell would do that? Can you imagine Madeleine Albright being anyone's valet?Twice as good? Hmph.

Just goes to show that while she may deny she "don't know nuthin' bout birthin' no babies" she's still aching to be George Bush's mammie.
