Writers musing about Obermann on Condi....

Herein a short exchange of emails:

Subject: Keith v. Condi

Holy crap! I don't know that I have ever heard or read a dressing down quite like that one. Is it possible that she'll never hear it? Is it possible that if she does hear it, she'll ever come out of her house again? Is it possible that she'll hear it and not care?
Leif

Olbermann really was torqued and he let it fly, didn't he,
Leif? :))) I am so pleased with that man. Would that all newscasters would live up to his standards. But no...Condi will neither hear it nor care about it. The BushCo people listen and care only from and about each other...and even then, if the slightest scent of "disloyalty" is detected, that individual will be trashed, fired, driven from their pack of criminals forever. UGH. Hugs...

I know that,but I guess I have a different basic expectation from her because of her background. It torques me to think she could turn her back on the academic responsibility in which she is steeped. It's a culture, for crissake. And a very hard one to turn from if you've learned it, and she'd not become provost at Stanford if she hadn't. Too bad. She didn't have to tie herself to that one.
Leif

Two things, Leif...Ideology wins...and she is absolutely and totally devoted to Bush. As you say, it's a shame.
Hugs...

Absolutely and totally devoted to Bush -- that's what makes Olbermann's comment right on. I think we should demand to see her degrees to make sure she didn't buy them from some guy who stopped her on the street, "Psst, lady, want a doctorate? I can do it out of my trunk." Christ! She's supposed to be smart. She can be absolutely and totally devoted to all sorts of things and people, but to choose George Bush as her focus on which to be absolutely and totally devoted reflects badly on her credentials.
Leif

One can be book smart and life stupid, Leif...and she's sure a good example. Also, keep in mind that she's been with Bush since Texas. He's her man...the only one she's ever had.
Hugs...

Yeah, the book vs. life smart/stupid thing certainly is real. But I think you may have put your finger on it. He's the only man she's ever had. Wow! What if this comes clear with time, that 3000+ US men and women, untold thousands of Iraqis, and an incalculable measure of the nation's treasure went down the drain to satisfy a psychosexual fixation? Wow!
Leif

Wrap....
