Rice Phobia

I think Roger Simon has figured out the intense Democratic animosity directed at Condoleeza Rice:

The Dems are afraid of her as a presidential candidate in '08 and wanted to take her down a peg as soon as possible. After all, according to Forbes anyway, she is the most powerful woman in the world -- and that was before she was Sec'y of State....

I think he may be right on target. This also explains why Hilary voted for her--in order to deflect any possible criticism that she was trying to take down a future political opponent. Fortunately, I don't think these tactics will have any impact. The only thing that will matter is how Dr. Rice performs the difficult job she has been assigned over the next few years, and whether she decides she wants to run for president or not.

The venomous opinions of Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy can have no significant effect on anyone with any intelligence.
