‘They’re Siamese twins joined at the frontal lobe.’
‘They’re Siamese twins joined at the frontal lobe.’
A forthcoming biography of Condoleezza Rice, excerpted by Newsweek, examines the ties between President Bush and Condoleezza Rice:
Rice was drawn to Bush. “First of all, I thought he was wonderful to be around,” she recalled, sitting on the couch in her State Department office. “He was warm and funny and easy to be around. I thought he had just an incredibly inquisitive mind … You could barely finish an explanation before he was digging into it.”
Bush was also a bad boy. And Rice, according to friends and family, had a thing for bad boys…
Rice’s friends insisted the attraction to Bush was platonic, but Brenda Hamberry-Green, her Palo Alto hairdresser, who had spent years commiserating with Rice over how hard it was for successful black women to find a good man, noticed a change when Rice started working for Bush. “He fills that need,” Hamberry-Green decided. “Bush is her feed.” …
“There was this connective stuff–that was really fully under way by the summer of 1999,” said Rice’s friend Coit “Chip” Blacker. “There’s a funny kind of transfer of energy and ideas that’s almost–not random, but unstructured. It’s as though they’re Siamese twins joined at the frontal lobe.”

“I know we’ve made tactical errors, thousands of them I’m sure.”

Condi: “I thought he (Bush) had just an incredibly inquisitive mind…” – - Incurious George?? Condi’s confusing inquisitve with an empty skull incapable of processing and retaining information. And won’t The First Stepford Lady be pleased about this?
April 30th, 2007 at 11:56 amShe could have been a great American lady. Instead, she chose to become a Bush Groupie. That puts her in the same class as all the other female WH aids as well as news correspondents such as Norah O’Donnell and most of the female commentators at CNN. Good work, Condi!

Oh my god, YES! They are both clueless!
And the hairdresser — I wouldn’t have given my real name.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:00 pmJust sayin’
How can they be connected by something neither one has?
-GSD
April 30th, 2007 at 12:02 pmTotally creeping me out. Do we really need two of either of them?
April 30th, 2007 at 12:02 pmZooey,
What are the odds of the hairdresser having an “accident”?
April 30th, 2007 at 12:05 pmSick . . . just plain sick.
I was just getting over the image of Chalabi and Darth Vader in a “schoolgirl crush” and then this story crosses the wires. Thank goodness I haven’t had breakfast yet or I would be wretching it up.
The only thing in this story that I have a hard time believing is the “joined at the frontal lobe” thing. Condoleeeeeeeeeeeezza and GDumbya have nothing but pure vacuums between their ears.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:06 pmJust wait till Jeffie Weffie here’s about this – there will be no more free visi..,ahhemmm, internalvi….no more free interviews.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:08 pmI heard mabry on the radio over the weekend. I may be wrong but listening to him I had a bad feeling about the book. It seemed more a vanity piece or an admiration than a real look at the woman.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:08 pmThis lends weight to what I was saying here yesterday, that Condi is so romantically attached to Bush that he might as well be her boyfriend. Clearly Condi’s boyfried worship has severely clouded her already weak judgement, and makes it unlikely that she can give Bush the kind of independent advice that should be expected of a Secretary of State.

Ruh-Roh!!
April 30th, 2007 at 12:10 pmPLEASE !!!!!!
NO OFFSPRING !!!!!!
April 30th, 2007 at 12:11 pmYup. We’re SIAMESE TRAITORS to the USA!
Heh heh heh…
See YOU in hell Condi (cause I’LL be THERE),

What a surprise, Condi is just another idiot American Woman who likes bad boys.

Comment by trueblue
Well, her hairstyles are already a trainwreck….
April 30th, 2007 at 12:14 pmPerhaps Rice’s comment a few years ago that Bush was her husband was more than just a Freudian slip. It also seems that Rice’s assertion that Bush has “an incredibly inquisitive mind” would have little bearing to reality since Bush rarely if ever is willing to listen and tolerate a point of view that does not coincide to his own, as evidenced by the dismissal of former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:16 pmI have to cry bullsh!t on this one. The book is obviously factually problematic. After all, if Condi and Shrub are indeed joined at the “frontal lobe,” then Shrub must by default have brain matter. We all know that can’t be true. Caveat emptor…
April 30th, 2007 at 12:17 pmDoes Bush even have a frontal lobe?
April 30th, 2007 at 12:17 pmCondi and Chimpy already had their affair.
Laura caught on and moved out of the White House.
She moved back in after Chimpy dumped Condi.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:17 pmImus hit the wrong target with that “nappy-headed ‘ho” slam.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:21 pmInteresting:
[graf 1]: “Rice, according to friends and family, had a thing for bad boys”
[graf 2]: “how hard it was for successful black women to find a good man”
Not wishing to sound like an a**hole here, but maybe Condi’s single because she can’t figure out what she wants.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:21 pmEww. Just eww.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:21 pmThe ICK factor is overwhelming.

April 30th, 2007 at 12:28 pm. . . maybe Condi’s single because she can’t figure out what she wants.
I think Condoleeeeeeeeeezza is single because she is a gap-toothed, ugly, closet lesbo with a shoe fetish.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:33 pm#12 GSD — good one!
April 30th, 2007 at 12:33 pm“Bush is her feed.â€
i just threw up in my mouth a little bit
April 30th, 2007 at 12:48 pmIf they are joined at the frontal lobe, such would imply they can’t see a f%ing thing.
“….inquisitive mind….. you could barely finish an explanation before he was digging into it…”
This fits the pattern of “the Interrogator” archetype.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:49 pmIn order to gain and/or maintain control over a situation, the interrogator archetype will immediately begin to question and pick apart any point of view. The focus will be on whatever can possibly be wrong with the scenario.
In an attempt to put someone off guard, and appear to be knowledgeable, the interrogator uses questions to create doubt.
Dubious also has a healthy dose of the “Intimidator” archetype, ie the bully………

Now, that’s just plain wrong!!:D
April 30th, 2007 at 12:52 pm(shuddering) Twiddle Dee & Tweedle Dum, they are.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:57 pmFrontal lobe? Nooo, I can’t believe they’re that fully formed. No way.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:11 pmThat would explain why it appears that they have only one brain between them.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:12 pmTalk about Smart Women/ Foolish Choices! It’s completely bewildering!
April 30th, 2007 at 1:23 pmits better to have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy
April 30th, 2007 at 1:26 pmThere’s an image I could have done without.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:38 pm“Bush is her feed”? She ought to watch what she eats.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:39 pmAre you sure you don’t mean that Rice and Bush are joined at the Pubis?
April 30th, 2007 at 1:40 pmBOTH miserable failures…
…hmm…
…figures…
April 30th, 2007 at 1:45 pmWhat a gross narrative on Bush and his lap dog. I think I’m going to barf.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:56 pmBirds of a feather sure know how to find each other. These lying liars. Just imagine, IdiotBush having a curious mind? Is she nuts? Yeah…she is. They all are.
April 30th, 2007 at 2:09 pmJust ask Laura and she’ll tell you all about it. Condi’s slip about Dubya being her “husband” was Freudian all right!
April 30th, 2007 at 2:15 pmInteresting!
I didn’t realize that Siamese twins could be retarded!
April 30th, 2007 at 2:24 pmThe media will not touch the Condi/GwB relationship issue or the problems in the Bush marriage with a 30 foot pole. Where was that attitude when Clinton was in office???
April 30th, 2007 at 2:33 pmWhere is a gutsy reporter who is not afraid to ask personal questions regarding Bush , Laura and Condi? If a sex scandal will lead to impeachment, then we need it badly!
April 30th, 2007 at 3:10 pmThese two have a frontal lobe?
I was under the impression that the frontal lobe could only be found in mammalians, and that it is the area of the brain that controls higher functions -like impulse control, social behavior, and planning.
I guess I was wrong…
April 30th, 2007 at 3:13 pmThe media will not touch the Condi/GwB relationship issue or the problems in the Bush marriage with a 30 foot pole. Where was that attitude when Clinton was in office???
==========================
To the Corporate MSM, “morality” only applies to sexual activities between Democrats.
Bush & Condi are Republicans, got it–
R-E-P-U-B-L-I-C-A-N-S.
Rules don’t apply to them.
April 30th, 2007 at 3:32 pmSo there!
I’m with S-B and other’s I think rice and bull shit bush are joined at the hip’s..Yikes!…There isn’t one frontal lobe between them…Blessings
April 30th, 2007 at 3:52 pmthanks, Newsweek, for crafting a metaphor that makes those people even more repulsively creepy than they already were…
April 30th, 2007 at 6:26 pmLeopold and Loeb.
Harris and Klebold.
Rumsfeld and Cheney.
Condi and Bush.
A fitting pair.
April 30th, 2007 at 7:58 pmI thought liberals were the ones that:
1) thought whatever politicians did in their personal life was their business (i.e. Clinton – Lewinsky) and
2) would be the ones to be least likely offended by the idea of interracial relationships.
TP. You’re off on the wrong tangent here. Stick to conspiracy theories, otherwise, people will begin to think you are the bigots and busy bodies.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:31 pmNo paul –
1) The Clinton/Lewinsky debacle was public and shameful, but in the end between Bill & Hillary alone.
2) I haven’t seen anyone saying anything about race. It’s the idea of George and Condi — as dumbf*ck people.
The main issue is hypocrisy, since these are the “family values” junkies.
April 30th, 2007 at 8:44 pmThis kind of crap, and the comments that follow hurt TP’s credibility. Way to jump to conclusions based on what someones hair dresser says about them. Why is this here?
April 30th, 2007 at 9:01 pmEntertainment!
May 1st, 2007 at 12:37 amSiamese twins joined at the frontal lobe? They both were dropped on their heads shortly after birth by a Republican doctor who wanted to see if they would bounce. This is why they both act as if they have had frontal lobotomies.
We could extend this riduculous postulation into absurdity, which is where Rice and Bush reside full time anyway.
God, the arse licking shameless witch.
