Et tu, AC?
I do not blame the Secretary for those failures. Those rest entirely on the president. And I'd like to know which president they think could have handled all these crises to National Review's satisfaction, while still fighting Ned Lamont Democrats and leakers and The New York Times.
Fine, give up on Secretary Rice. Do you prefer the candidate that rescinded the First Amendment or the one who enshrined health care mandates in his home state. Are you going to like Mayor Giuliani’s SCOTUS picks? Is NR?
Sorry, I am still on board. Now if we can just get the candidate...

Posted by: jk at August 14, 2006 10:18 AMI don't think any of the 08 candidates excite me. Perhaps there's a governor out there that might.
But so far? It looks like I'll be voting against Hillary. Sadly.
Posted by: AlexC at August 14, 2006 11:01 AMIt's funny, I have never been more keen on Secretary Rice. She is on the Sunday morning shows almost every week and she makes the case for freedom with firmness and style. She FLATTENED a Tim Russert who was trying to make the case for appeasement in Lebanon.
President Bush and the nation clearly want to take the diplomacy tract more than you and I. As I see it, she has been given the charge to work the UN (I'd rather go to Alaska when it's 60 below myself) and she is actually advancing freedom's interest there.

Posted by: mdmhvonpa at August 14, 2006 11:38 AMAlmanac of American Politics sez:
"Jon Huntsman Jr., a Republican, was elected governor of Utah in 2004. He was born in Palo Alto, California, the oldest of nine children, spent time in California and in Washington, D.C., where his father worked in the Nixon administration, then moved to Utah. He dropped out of high school to play keyboards in rock-and-roll bands; he attended the University of Utah briefly before leaving on a two-year Mormon mission to Taiwan. There he learned to speak fluent Mandarin Chinese. When he returned, he transferred to and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. He is the son of billionaire philanthropist and industrialist Jon Huntsman, the wealthiest man in Utah (his company invented McDonald's Big Mac clamshell packaging), and the family owns a controlling interest in the Huntsman Corporation, a multinational petrochemical corporation headquartered in Salt Lake City."
A Keyboard player? I dunno, maybe a bass player or something...
