Making Hillary Disappear?

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice yesterday accused Bill Clinton of making "flatly false" claims that the Bush administration didn't lift a finger to stop terrorism before the 9/11 attacks..."The notion somehow for eight months the Bush administration sat there and didn't do that is just flatly false - and I think the 9/11 commission understood that"....Rice Boils Over At Bubba, Ian Bishop, NY Post, 9/26/06

I'd hate to be Senator Hillary Clinton if Secretary of State Condi Rice were running against her in New York. The Secretary of State is not shy and retiring, unlike most of the "opponents" dished up for Hillary to gobble up by the chefs of the New York State GOP. I can imagine a lady-like shootout at a debate between these two. Both are very bright. The Senator's a tough character -- who wouldn't be after twenty-five years of husband Bill, not to mention six years of New York? -- but the Secretary of State looks a lot more like Harry Truman than Senator Clinton does. She also believes in defending the country from its enemies. As long as the wind is the right direction, so does the Senator, but that wind can change, in case nobody's noticed what's happened to other Democrat "leaders." The Secretary of State is more likely to increase the pressure on Islamic terrorists than negotiate for a meaningless peace. I can't say the same of Senator Clinton, especially with her friends in Hezbollah and Hamas. All of this might bode well for the United States in 2008 if the Secretary of State weren't so fond of football.
