Rice: ‘It’s time for new blood’ in the White House.

Asked whether she is interested in being Vice President, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told Fox & Friends this morning, “It’s time for me to go back to Stanford. … It’s time for me to do something else.” She added, “You have to know when your time is up, and it’s time for new blood.” Watch it:

    The time for her to go back to Stanford has long since passed. Why they would take her back is anyone’s guess.

    There is no joy in Palo Alto. . .


  3. tom says:

    Condoleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezza is finally right about something. It is time for new blood in the White House alright. The old blood have been around for far too long — and McNumbNuts is just more old blood.

    And the Profound Statement award for today goes to…


  5. Alejandro says:

    I think you all have spilled enough blood, thank you.


  6. oldtree says:

    this is code for; “I got my target letter”


  7. RUCerious says:

    My sincere hope is that the good folks at Stanford find a suitable position for her. That tree mascot would be fine. The suit fits, you must admit.

    “Well, since I’ve been so successful during my time in government, I could probably do anything I want.” – Sec. Rice

    Do they have a federal prison in Stanford Condi? “New blood in the White House”? It seems that since Dick has developed a taste for human baby blood his stockpile of puppy blood is way past it’s expiration date. Since he will only drink his baby blood while it is fresh, the White House has since had to install a refrigeration system in his man sized safe in order to store some extra puppy blood in deep-freeze just in case the Vice President is REALLY thirsty. Thinking about bombing Iran not only causes the Dickster to get an erection, it also leaves him quite parched. Sometimes, after watching some of his rendition and torture tapes fro Guantanamo, an obviously sexually aroused Dick Cheney has been reported loping about the halls of the White House in his bathrobe screaming “somebody get me a G0d damned puppy bloodcicle ASAP or someone is going to get shot!” Your tax dollars at work ladies and gentlemen!

    Not to mention that the vetting process would go places she simply doesn’t want explored.

    I’d like to mention that every time I see that Faux News morning “team”, I have to handcuff myself to a post lest I visit New York with an aluminum bat. The most unctuous, insipid trio of oxygen wasters on earth.


  11. TXProgressive says:

    I wouldn’t think that Stanford would welcome her form of incompetence. Let’s hope they reject her return.


  12. Keith H. says:

    Next, fox will ask bolton if he would like to be VP.


  13. 5th Estate says:

    RICE: “You have to know when your time is up…”

    It’s a self realization kind of thing, and the fact that your husb…-excuse me, your boss who you owe your career to HAS to go and your chances of being retained by the next administration are negative-infinty to 1, has nothing to do with it.

    I think your time was up when you couln’t get an op-ed published, Condi.

    I swear she’s almost as stupid and vapid as Doug Feith.


  14. citizen_pain says:

    NO SH1T!!!!!!!
    By the way Cunti, don’t travel abroad, you may be arrested for war crimes…


  15. hanshiro says:

    Americans should not tolerate a creature who instigated and sat in on plans to torture hundreds of people, many of whom were innocent ‘bounty captures’ sold to the US for $$.

    If Stanford or anyone else does less than slamming the door in this sadist’s face, the students should stage a mass protest.

    Why do we tolerate such horror shows like Yoo and Rice in any reputable University? Perhaps the answer is to allow Rice back, but only with the caveat that she undergo the same type of “frat hazing” she herself knowingly implemented.

    A moral country would be burning Rice’s effigy regularly until she was exiled.

    think progress admin

    URGENT

    please give some condsideration to this blogospeher-wide effort:

    please consider putting up a post on “protecting the fourth amendment” this friday, june 20th.

    the ideas is to demand of democratic party leaders that they NOT support the pelosi-hoyer-reid effort to give immunity to the telecoms who helped the bush/cheney admin spy on americans for the last six years.

    and that they LEAD in protecting our bill of rights guarantees.

    the word is that obama, pelosi, hoyer, and reid plan to vote AGAINST this bill just for public consumption while privately supporting it.

    details here: national fourth ammenedment defense day

    thank you

    “New Blood in the White House”

    Now if she were a Democrat, this is how Faux Snooze would report this.

    Rice calls for Gang Run White House, is Rice a Crip or a Blood?


  19. Red Pill says:

    Condi, your time was up in 1999.

    Kenny Rice: “You gotta’ know when to hold ‘em…”


  21. Bob says:

    Interesting choice of words, since so much blood is on their hands.

    I don’t think Barack would be interested in her as VP, it might make him look elitist.


  22. ralph the wonder llama says:

    “It’s time for me to go back to Stanford.”

    I agree, but I wonder what classes she’ll be taking? I hope she actually learns something this time.


  23. Leftside Annie says:

    “New blood in the White House”…?

    No thanks, there has been quite *enough* blood spilled already by those in the White House.


  24. larkohio says:

    It is indeed time for a change. Ms. Rice, you are correct!
    Go Obama!


  25. 5th Estate says:

    “It’s time for me to go back to Stanford.”

    ralph: I agree, but I wonder what classes she’ll be taking? I hope she actually learns something this time.

    Pottery classes would be an obvious and ironic choice:

    1) she might actually produce something for once (probably a f–d-up ashtray)
    2) “the Pottery Barn Rule”
    3) If you’ve ever been by Princess SParkle Pony’s blog, you’ll know all about COndi’s “invisible friend”–whatever it is she appears to be holding between her hands all the time that not one elss can see (or photograph). She might actually have been “throwing a pot” in her mind all this time. It sure we explain a lot.


  26. octamethyl says:

    There’s no shortage of ‘new blood’ on your hands, bittch


  27. Rev. Richie says:

    she needs to be put on trail and prosecuted for war crimes along with Bush and Cheney.


  28. regular_joe says:

    After nearly eight years of Chimpy brand “Honor ‘n’ Dignity” in the White House, it’s time to restore actual honor and dignity to the White House.

    Besides, someone has to clean up the dreadful mess Chimpy made and America could use a little leadership for a change.


  29. had enough says:

    ‘It’s time for new blood’ in the White House.

    Obama 344 McCain 194

    But… could McCain be replaced with someone else, due to his unpopularity during the republican convention as mentioned by Thom Hartmann?

    …“You have to know when your time is up…

    You’re time was up before you ever started.

    Stanford? Jail!


  32. Robt says:

    Is Condi talking “Cut and Run”?

    Or maybe she realizes how mismanaged this Adm has train wrecked the country and a emergency crew is needed to take over. She just didn’t have any follow through of thought with most any policy the initiated.

    That is where “Stay the Course” came in. They had NO knowledge how to navigate the ship…..!

    I feel for anyone that attends Stanford and gets stuck in her classes. She can teach how to be loyal and submissive at the same time she abets in crimes against the American people.

    Her accomplishments in the Adm are few (if any). After refusing diplomacy with N. Korea for as long as they did. They actually caved in to reason somehow and returned N. Korea to its diplomatic state as the Clinton Adm had it. After costing America so much time and money. Only to end up where it began.

    We cannot say tht of Israwl and the Palistinians. Nor of the war on “terrorism”. Osama continues to be the entire Bush Adm’s Bugs Bunny to them as Elmer Fudd.

    If Condi sets her brilliant mind to it. She can get alot of shopping in before she leaves. Now would be a great time for her to get some of that shopping done as Iowa floods are creating havoc on the people of that state.


  33. Gregor Samsa says:

    There is plenty of blood in this White House already: The blood of all the innocent Iraqis that had been killed, slaughtered, maimed, and tortured, is on the hands of every single one of the empire-building criminals in this administration, as is the blood of all the soldiers who are sent to die in this war of choice.


  34. bonzo 1958 says:

    It’s time for new blood in the WH, in the Senate, and in the House.


  35. Zimzone says:

    Do you think she’ll be marrying her girlfriend upon returning to Calif?


  36. Bilbo Hussein Baggins says:

    I wonder if that means that Rice is a closet Obama supporter. Wouldn’t that be something, especially since Obama represents all the good things that Rice does not.


  37. FunMe says:

    Is her girlfriend still in the Stanford area?

    You know, Bean.

    Yes, as in Rice and Bean.

    http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Secretary_of_State_who_keeps_private_0914.html

    “According to the book, Rice owns a home together with Randy Bean, a documentary filmmaker who once worked with Bill Moyers. Kessler made the discovery by looking through real estate records.

    Bean explained the joint ownership and line of credit to Kessler by saying she had medical bills which left her financially drained and Rice helped her by co-purchasing the house along with a third person, Coit Blacker, a Stanford professor who is openly gay.

    Blacker later sold his line of credit to Rice and Bean.”


  38. ucsbclassics53 says:

    People like John Kerry on this board swallow hook and sinker the myths the liberal media put out to slander the people of NOLA…Those urban legends could not be substantiated but since the narrative fits the worldview of Rush and his Dittoheads, they accept it without question…without acknowledging the possibility that they are unfounded…


  39. ucsbclassics53 says:

    oops wrong thread…


  40. sacopenapa says:

    RICE=WAR CRIMINAL


  41. SP Biloxi says:

    Condi as VP? Oh god, I hope not. She didn’t do anything as National Security Adviser and as Secretary of State. Do you really think GirlFriday would do a Veep job? I don’t think so! Yes, we do need new blood in the White House but certainly not Girlfriday Rice.


  42. Cal Malenky says:

    If she likes McCain, she’d better give him some Geritol.


  43. Alecto says:

    Stanfor better not take this KUNT back. She is to be tried for War Crimes.


  44. tauph says:

    Dear Condi,

    The only place you and your sociopathic cohorts need to go is the “Hague”!
